Estroblock Q & A – Estroblock Triple Strength vs Regular, Do You Take it Forever, and Can Men and Teenagers Take It For Acne

As you may know, my acne dream come true is a supplement called Estroblock. It’s what finally got rid of that bit of annoying recurring mild hormonal acne around my chin, improved my complexion, and catapulted my skin into reliable awesomeness.

I definitely think that a holistic lifestyle – lack of heavily processed foods, managed stress, moving your body, gentle skin care, etc, are super important components for healthy skin and can’t be ignored – but I found that Estroblock, for me at least, was just the little cherry on top that solved the last frontier of acne mystery.

I mainly talked about Estroblock in this article, so if you haven’t read it yet, read it to get up to speed on what Estroblock is and how it works.

Should You Take regular Estroblock, or Triple Strength Estroblock Pro?

I’ve been on Estroblock for about a year now. At first (and when I wrote the above article), I started out with the regular Estroblock, taking three per day – two in the morning, one at night. I chose this amount because Fran Kerr from High On Health was the one who kind of “discovered” the magic of this supplement, and she said that three of the regulars per day was how much she needed for it to make a big difference in her skin.

And after about two or three months of taking it that way, I did notice a big difference in my skin.

However, a few months ago, a Love Vitamin reader said that they called the company who makes Estroblock to ask about it, and they said that the Triple Strength is more effective for hormonal acne than the regular, and that you only need two per day as opposed to three.

Now as you may know, Estroblock isn’t the cheapest supplement ever. Which is good, in a way – I mean, cheap supplements just don’t work as well. And if I’m going to take a supplement I want it to work. And to me, paying a bit of money each month for guaranteed beautiful skin is worth every last penny.

But I still don’t want to GIVE away my hard earned cash.

So I figured, well, the triple strength is $40, the regular Estroblock $30… but the triple strength will last longer if I only have to take 2 per day…

All in all, the savings actually weren’t that great. But I decided to try the Pro anyway to see what happened. And I’ve been taking it for the last… I don’t know. Maybe even 5 or 6 months now.

My review is that I actually do feel the Pro Estroblock is more effective for me than the regular strength. So effective that I was able to drop down to one capsule per day and get the same effect if not actually better than taking three of the regular.

So now, I actually am saving money. Spending 20 something dollars a month as opposed to 40 something. Plus it’s just nicer only having to take one pill as opposed to three.

Mind you, as you start Estroblock, it’s probably good to start off slow, build your way up slowly to taking the higher dose, and then drop down after several months.

[UPDATE]: Please read this article before starting Estroblock for some additional information on possible detoxification reactions

Will I Have to Be on This Supplement Forever?

Inquiring minds want to know… if they start on this supplement and it works… do they have to be on it forever? Will they ever be able to stop taking it and have their skin stay nice after?

Well, to be honest, I really don’t know from personal experience. Because I haven’t stopped taking it yet. I guess I will admit I’m pretty attached to it and am nervous to experiment with completely stopping.

However, Fran (from High on Health) actually did stop taking hers after an initial 6 or 7 month course of it and her skin stayed clear after. If she breaks out a little bit every once in a while, she just starts taking it again for two or three weeks and it clears everything right up.

And I also just called the company who makes it to ask their opinion on it and the lady who answered the phone said that no you don’t have to take it forever, although she recommends staying on it indefinitely if you are on hormonal birth control since hormonal birth control quickly accumulates bad estrogen levels.

But if you’re not on birth control and you are maintaining a relatively healthy lifestyle, you take your dose of it for a while (she didn’t specify how long, but I imagine, like… 6 months give or take??), detoxify your body’s toxic load of estrogens, and get things back in balance. Then you can stop, but over time just due to modern living, you may re accumulate the bad estrogens and then have to do another course of it.

Makes sense to me.

Can Men Take Estroblock for Acne?

Now, I have always known that men can take this supplement (because men too accumulate fake estrogens from our environment that can screw with their hormones), but up until now, I have only recommended it for female acne, simply because I just didn’t know if it was effective for male acne or not.

However, on my call to the Estroblock folks, I asked, and while I didn’t get a whole lot of details, she said “Yes, it is effective for acne in males”. So there you go. Worth a shot guys. And if any of you men out there try it, please give me feedback and let me know if it works for you or not.

Can Teenagers Take Estroblock for Acne?

The lady on the phone said that yes it is safe for teenagers and it does help with teenage acne, although her personal opinion is that she probably would not give it to anyone 14 and younger.

I have cleared my acne from being horribly cystic last year to being only mild, so this night be something good to try. But what I wanted to ask is do you think it would be effective for chest and back acne? Those just wont seem to clear no matter what I do, only my face seems to be responsive to my healthy lifestyle changes.

I too have body acne and only my face seems responsive to changes. Plus, it doesn’t seem like it heals well on my body. A small pimple/bump will end up leaving a purplish/brownish/redish mark every time (I assume a scar). Even when it was never touched. It would be wonderful if this worked for body acne.

Hi Samantha,
You know, I’m not sure if it’s effective for back acne or not. Maybe someone else could comment on it if they have experience with it. Otherwise, I would suggest giving it a go and letting us all know if it does in fact help!

Hi Samantha, yes it is! Also, if your face is clearing and your body isn’t, then consider what you’re doing differently externally in those areas. Estroblock along with daily exfoliation and making sure you’re not using anything that is comedogenic will help your body acne.

I too suffered from body acne, especially on my shoulders and chest. What truly works wonders for me is Red Moroccan Clay aka Rhassoul Clay and filtered water. I usually mix 1-2 tablespoons of the clay and water in a bottle and to use it basically in the shower i just squirt some on my problem ares and GENTLY wash it off. Also, removing lotions or oils with high oleic content from your body care can greatly help. I will admit that I only put lotion on these areas if my skin is dry and when I do I use pumpkin seed oil from Mountain Rose Herbs.
I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.

Hi! I just started taking Estroblock and have had a pretty bad breakout on my chin – it’s been under 2 weeks so is it possible this is unrelated to the estroblock? Is an Initial breakout normal and should I continue taking ?

Thanks for explaining Estro-Block in more detail. I’ve been wondering about this product for a while – since reading your first article about it.

I’ve been wondering – are you still on hormonal birth control? Does this product interact with birth control? I have stopped taking birth control because it does break me out, but I would prefer to be on birth control.

No, I haven’t used hormonal birth control since I was a teenager. I use the copper IUD now which works really well for me.

As for taking it on birth control, the woman on the phone said they highly recommend taking it on birth control since BC pills produce a lot of toxic estrogen in the body. If that is what they recommend then I take this to mean that it must not diminish pill’s contraceptive effectiveness.

Thank you Tracy for this great article! i was going to ask you if i have the copper IUD if taking the Estroblock would diminish its effectiveness. You just gave me the piece of mind it won’t. I just did my first order for Estroblock. I am looking forward on having clear skin once of for all. Thank you!!

How long did it take for you to start seeing ‘clearing’ results with Estroblock? I know that question is difficult to answer and will vary from person to person, but it is just SO ANNOYING to THINK you are seeing improvements in your skin after starting a new regime only to see a new acne explosion on your face two days later.

Or, to lay awake at night and wonder if it really is excess estrogens that are causing your hormonal breakouts to begin with, or is it excess androgens? Either way, I’m hoping to cover all my bases by supplementing with CLO, Zinc, and Estroblock.

For me it took a couple months. The hormonal acne on my chin would come and go in waves, so for a while after starting it they would continue to pop up, and it took a few months to really see that these breakouts weren’t coming back anymore.

I have been taking the DIM, Burdock Root, Milk Thistle and Vitex Berry combo and was wondering if you have experienced this interfering with your menstrual cycle? Mine seems to be off cycle since I started this new routine.

Estroblock has seriously changed my life! I have been taking it for two months now, based on your recommendation, and it has cleared up my acne/rosacea almost completely. I have also been battling melasma for 4 or 5 years. It’s an upper lip discoloration that looks like a mustache – very embarrassing to say the least. It was caused by birth control, so it makes sense that this would do the trick to get rid of it. It is barely even noticeable since I started taking the estroblock. I went to multiple dermatologists who recommended skin bleaching and chemical peels as the only options for removing this, but I KNEW it was an internal imbalance because the severity of it would fluctuate with my periods. Tracy, I am so thankful to you and your blog for guiding me toward healthy skin. Keep up the good work!

Hey Eric,
I too suffer from melasma. I have not tried dim. I was wondering if your melasma ever came back? I am so anxious to rid myself of acne and my melasma wanted to know if this worked for you. Please help!
Meredith

Did you notice any changes in your cycle from taking Estroblock? Like do you have fewer PMS symptoms or has the quality of your menstrual improved? I’ve heard that PMS and having purplish, clotty menstrual blood are two other symptoms of Estrogen dominance other than acne, so wanted to see if Estroblock did anything for those symptoms as well…

Hi Michaela, If your liver needs work then you may experience moodiness similar to PMS. If this happens then take some herbs to support your liver and drink plenty of water. It is also very common to go up a bra size while you’re on it (added bonus for some!!).

I just started taking estroblock pro. I previously took DIM-plus but I found that when the capsules were reformulated to the white capsules they are now it seemed to be much less effective. It seems from reviews that estroblock is better than the DIM-plus anyway so I’m hoping to see better results. If it could help me go up a bra size too it would be a miracle product!

Hi Tracy! I’m very interested in Pro Estroblock however one of the reviews on Amazon was horrible and made me really nervous! They said it made them vomit-I’m fairly sensitive to vitamins and try to take them on a full stomach. Have you ever experienced any distress from using Estroblock or Pro?

Yep, fair enough. I know it’s scary when you read reviews like that, but the way I see it: who matter what supplement/food/routine there will always, always be someone who has a horrible scary review. I actually find it comforting that there are very few of those for this supplement!!

Personally I have noticed no side effects. Actually though – I did notice that on the regular Estroblock, when I would take it, it’s almost like I’d get mild heartburn for a few minutes after swallowing the pills (I always take it with food). It was no big deal, but funnily enough, that actually is not the case at all since I switched to the Pro version. I don’t feel anything at all when I take it now.

Hi Tracy,
Do you just take Liv-tox and EstroBlock only or do you also take other supplements, multivitamins, or herbs? Also, I’m on birth control currently (microgestic fe-20) and I’ve been trying to figure out a method to ween off of it while minimizing acne flare ups. Do you have any tips?

And what if you’re TRYING to get pregnant, do you think its harmless or potentially risky? I don’t want to stop taking mine, but seems like changing my hormones might affect my ability to get pregnant? Thanks for your thoughts!

The way I see it – by using this supplement, you are aiming to get your hormones into balance, not out of balance, and hormones that are in balance are only going to have a positive effect on fertility, not the other way around. So I would *think* it would be fine to use while trying to conceive, and would probably be quite helpful to your cause! Again, you might want to double check though on what the company has to say on the matter: http://delgadoprotocol.com/sample-page/

I have order my first bottle of Estroblock after reading your success story! However, I am trying to get pregnant and wondering if anyone has had any help from Estroblock in this area? I know for sure my hormones are all over the place and can;t wait to see some improvement from Estroblock! Has anyone responded to you with trying to conceive stories and Estroblock aiding this? Thanks.

Hi Lisa, I’m not sure, haven’t heard of any with Estroblock specifically. I know that Vitex can be very helpful for conceiving. Also be aware that once you do get pregnant it’s only advised to take one pill per day of the regular strength Estroblock.

Hi there, I have the same dilemma as I could be pregnant anytime and my rule I try to follow is that, for the time in the month where I could potentially be pregnant, I stop taking any supplements that I know I shouldnt really take while preggers, or reduced the dosage where applicable. Of course, many people get pregnant and its a surprise and they may be eating things they shouldn’t and taking meds/supplements they shouldn’t however, if you are planning, why not err on the side of caution? When I spoke to Delgado, they made it sound like, you only need 1 a day when preggers and that more wouldn’t harm you necessarily but not 100% sure about that!

It’s always a good idea, but my feeling is that because this is something that is simply helping your liver detox something that most people have accumulated in their bodies anyway… well, if that’s not why you’re getting acne, then it might not work, but it’s not likely to mess up your hormones and give you more acne.

If you want to double check on that, I highly recommend giving them a call. There’s a lovely lady named Rachel who answers the phone and seems to know a lot about the supplement: http://delgadoprotocol.com/sample-page/

I am wanting to wean off my birth control. Would you recommend taking this or the Vitex? Which do you find gives less side effects. I only had very mild acne before taking birth control but I DID get 2 or so cystic pimples a week before my period always that hurt sooooo bad and got quite big. I’m scared to get them again! I’ve already been on a gluten, sugar and dairy free diet for 4 months. Now the last step to healthy isttingff the birth control. I’m scared though! Also, are these suppements ok for the body for long term use? It always worries me to mess around with hormones. Ya I know…..dummmy me on birth conterol! Lol

I believe there is less chance of side effects with Estroblock, but vitex can be helpful after birth control pills because often people have low progesterone after. I would probably recommend both to be honest, but I also don’t blame you for being nervous. You should see a naturopath who could tell you more precisely what to do.

Thanks for the info Tracy!
I was taking (one pill each of) Vitex (400mg) and Milk Thistle (240mg), but recently, like about a month and a half, I have started taken a pill of DIM (100mg). My face has gotten better but I think moreover it has gotten better because of being off BP for a year now (Although I still have mild acne).

Anyway, I actually wanted to know do you think I can stop taking all those supplements and just use the triple strength Estroblock?

Hi Drea,
Unfortunately I can’t know exactly which supplement cocktail will work the best for your skin. Personally I just take Estroblock and Liv-tox (liver support herbs) and skip the vitex, but you’re not me, so I don’t know!

Hi all! Please be SUPER careful with the triple strength EstroBlock. It’s very strong, especially for first time users so it can be quite an intense detox and harsh on your liver. It is highly recommended to begin with the regular strength to see how you go. If you have any nausea, headaches and/or moodiness then drink plenty of water, support your liver and consider enemas or colonics.

This supplement IS a detox, so support yourself the same as you would on any other detox.

The website says “One of the most common symptoms of toxic estrogens is stubborn fat that just won’t go away. These synthetic estrogens cause fat to build up in a synthetic way that does not respond to natural methods for weight loss. Restore your hormones and biochemistry to natural levels”

So I take this to mean it’s probably only going to help you lose weight if you need to lose weight, or have stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge. In fact, I imagine it would probably help you, as a male, to put on weight if you work out due to the fact that it will a create a more positive testosterone balance for you (I believe this is actually quite a popular supplement with gym dudes/body builders)

Personally I am thin and I have not had any weight loss from this supplement, that I have noticed.

I have been using regular estroblock and have noticed some improvement in acne, so looking forward to trying this one. One thing I noticed is that my PMS symptoms have seem to banish, hope they stay away! No bloat, cramps and irritability

It says on the website to take them at separate times of day. so in the morning and then at night. I’m sure it wouldn’t be the end of the world to take them at once, but I believe it’s more effective to spread them out. Although I find it makes it more likely that you’re going to end up skipping pills because you forget!

Thank you so much for this article Tracy!! I was waiting for it 🙂 it answered a lot of my questions..

I want to ask you… were you CLEAR/ ALMOST CLEAR/ before estro block?

just to get an idea of what a difference estro block alone did for you.. I have been doing estro block pro for a few days now.. and i feel like this is the one thing tht has made the biggest difference.. I tried no dairy, no this no that, this vitamin that vitamin and my face did get a lot better but for it to completely be going away ( which it almost is now!! im almost clear after 4 days, its like magic ) it was all the estro block…. so yes obviously im afraid what if i stop taking this one day? its good to hear what fran had to say once she stopped taking this ( it be great for her to write an article on this, or does she have a blog I can read?)

Also I would love to know what other vitamins your taking other then estro block pro and liver-tox.. if you can share that with us that be amazing, and why and how you came about taking what you take… as you explained your story with how/why you started taking estro..

Thank you so much, sorry for all my questions once again.. your an amazing help!! xoxo

1. My skin was mostly clear from acne most of the time, but approximately once a month, I’d breakout with a bunch of small to medium-ish pimples around my chin. They weren’t awful but it was enough at one time that it annoyed me a lot and gave me some anxiety.

2. I had a lot of clogged pores on my forehead, and it was slightly oily

With the clogged pores, about two months into using estroblock, I started using a little bit of jojoba on my forehead, and within three weeks, they were totally gone (ala this article: https://thelovevitamin.com/?p=5643). So at first I thought it was all the jojoba oil, but after I stopped using the jojoba oil, my forehead has remained incredibly smooth ever since. I suspect it might have been a combination of the two.

Either way… the clear benefits that I’ve noticed:

1. The breakouts around my chin stopped. I still get a small pimple here and there, and even every once in a long, long while a kind of bigish one, but .. like… it’s hardly even a thing anymore. at all. They are so few and far in between and clear up so fast that I am happier about my skin than I’ve probably ever been and don’t really consider myself to have “acne” anymore.

2. My forehead is still completely smooth and not oily at all

3. My complexion just looks better than it used to. My skin is more even and toned.

As for supplements… I take estroblock, liv-tox, fermented cod liver oil when I remember. I recently took a course of antifungals and am taking probiotics (as I know I have ongoing issues with candida). I guess this is what I’ve found over the years works for me.

Hmm.. I can’t say conclusively, but most likely. I guess it would depend on whether your skin is overproducing oil due to overwashing it (which is often the case), or if it is a hormonal thing. My forehead used to be a little bit oily before estroblock and now it’s not at all, so .. yes?

Your article could not have come at a beter time – I’m suffering from acne in my 40s! I assume it’s hormonal because these breakouts are along my jaw line and upper neck and are painful!

I’m wondering about this Estroblock though as I drink kombucha on a daily basis and I would “assume” my liver would be in good shape, but maybe not. Do you think taking the Estroblock would have any effect on that anyways?

Hi Kate – not sure what your question is? Does it have any effect on the liver? Well, it helps it 🙂 I would have thought mine was in good shape too, but maybe our livers just need a little help with this particular task

Thank you so much for getting deeper into the subject! I have tried to take Estroblock twice. The first time it caused me migraines for weeks time. The second time I decreased it to one capsule regular strength, and I got a lot of cystic acne.
From what I read here, this could be a side effect from a congested liver. I know this is an issue and regularly take a milkthistle supplement I respond to really well.
Did you have a lot of feedback on migraines/cystic breakouts which then went away?

So far I haven’t gotten a lot of feedback about migraines/breakouts on it, but from Fran’s information above, it does sounds like it is a liver/detox thing. Any time you do a detox, you are at risk of getting detoxification symptoms which could be anything, including headaches and increased breakouts, so that would explain it.

You might want to do some liver work before trying Estroblock again… well, some people do love the liver flush thing. I don’t know how I feel about it. I had a bad experience, but other people think it’s the bees knees and may be the ticket to a much better functioning liver. Here’s some articles for you:

Thank you Tracy! Yes, I am a little scared about the liver flush.
But with the liver formulas I have taken until know, I feel I am on the right path to good health. I have more energy and every change in my cycle is much more pleasant. The acne on my chin is the last persistent “symptom”, so I am not that stressed.
I will try to integrate some of the suggestions of your second article! Thanks again!

I started taking the regular estroblock and a liver support supplement about 1 1/2 ago. My face seemed like it was going to clear, but then I broke out with the worst acne I’ve ever had. I took the pills morning and night just like the bottle says. The acne is all concentrated on my chin, jaw line and neck. I’m not sure what to do or if I should continue taking them. Does acne get worse before it gets better on these supplements? I’m not sure if I should stop or try and stick it out for another month or so.

I was taking the Estroblock for a month and a half. I had also been taking a Liver Blend which had Milk Thistle and Dandelion in it. I started those at the same time. It’s interesting that Florence mentioned migraine headaches. I got them so bad I am now on a medication for migraines. I never did relate the migraine headaches to the Liver supplement and I didn’t know this was a side effect. I have migraines which run in my family, so I thought I was just having an episode. I’m still not sure if I should keep taking the supplements, but I have heard Estroblock works for so many other women and I’m desperate to get rid of my acne.

Hard to say what it’s related to. I also just did a little bit of research on migraines and estrogen and apparently migraines and headaches can be a symptom of low estrogen, which is why some women get migraines before their periods (when estrogen gets low).

However, this supplement isn’t supposed to lower your estrogen, it’s just supposed to change how your liver metabolizes it (metabolizes it into good estrogen instead of bad). This is a good article that I found that explains how it works in more precise detail: http://www.tigerwebster.org/health/high-potency-dim

However, it wouldn’t surprise me if maybe it doesn’t work like that for some people, and affects them in a different way, causing symptoms like this. Everyone is different right, so it’s hard to know.

We seem to have the same reaction! I have never had migraines before. They were headaches that did not respond to any over the counter medication.
And since it was the end of my studies, I thought it was the computer. But then I ran out of Estrosense and over the next weeks they went away.
But I don’t have migraines on any of the liver supplements (I took Liv-Tox, a Himalay Herbs supplement, and I think the simplest and for me the best of all: liquid milk thistle (seems to work better for me than caps)).

I have been using regular Estroblock for about 8 months, 3 a day.
i used to get very painful acne on my back…which is completely clear. but i still do get mild acne on my face and chest. But it is a lot better what it used to be. i am happy with the results. next i will try triple strength.
hope this helps someone

Thanks Tracy! Btw, I purchased your book a few weeks back. You might have seen my husbands name on the order (Keith) and I have to say I found it sooooo helpful. It’s my go to everytime I have a Question!

Just curious…I have been on Estroblock for a month now and my skin looks AMAZING, however I have noticed a weight gain during PMS and menstruation time. The first few weeks my stomach shrank and then as soon as I was PMS I have a belly. Will my body “shrink” again or is this a side effect to taking Estroblock. Happy with the skin not happy with the weight gain.
Any thoughts?

I am interested about this. did you write to the company and ask them? I would think when the estrogen gets balanced that the exact opposite would happen. Meaning, less toxic estrogen , less water retention around menses.

Hi Tracy, Thanks for the great info, and you always keep up with all the comments. I commend you for that!

For readers who are thinking of getting this: I’ve been on Estro Block for almost a month now. After 2 weeks taking the product, I noticed a BIG reduction in acne. I usually get several around my chin a couple weeks before my period (medium sized pimples, or even cysts). But right now I’m around that time and I have not gotten any major breakouts (I have 2 tiny ones, but they’ll go away pretty fast.) On top of that, my lifestyle has NOT been top notch. Work was super busy and I started drinking coffee (I nvr did before), I also ate some dairy and sugary products (yogurt, cheese, and ice cream), which I know is not helpful at all! On top of that I’ve been sleeping really really late. However, my skin has been staying clear, and getting better which is very unlikely if I did not take this supplement and did all that I mentioned.
The only thing that has not cleared is this HUGE cyst on my neck (the size of a nail, it’s NEVER gone away, and sometimes itchy and painful.)

My question is: I’m running out on my first bottle, and want to try either the Pro, or DIM (lets face it, it’s cheaper). But seeing as how effective the regular Estro Block is, I’m tempted to take DIM even though it’s got lower potency. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?

P.S. I also started taking Burdock Roots and Vitex at the same time as Estroblock. (I took vitex before, and it didn’t have this type of result, so I know Estroblock was the missing piece).
I also have been using jojoba oil to moisturize, and Manuka honey active 12+ as a face mask every other morning. (the honey is wonderful, I try to leave it on for hours at a time when I’m home, it’s really great.)

Hope my experience is helpful to someone, I will update with more positive changes. And I hope everyone here finds a solution to their acne!

Hey Weina, that’s great!! so glad to hear it’s made such a difference for you.

As for which to take next… well… if you want to save money … I say may as well try a different less expensive DIM supplement. You’ll know if it’s not as effective and if it’s not, then you can always go back to Estroblock!

I am taking DIM, and have noticed a big difference. It may have been the build up of taking Estroblock for a few weeks prior. But DIM seems to be working even faster than Estroblock. Will keep you and your readers updated!
Thanks for all your help always!

Hi Tracy, Are you still following the Caveman Regimen? I have been on the regimen for 3 weeks now, but I guess I can’t expect to become completely clear if I have also have a hormonal imbalance? Thank you!

I started the caveman probably about 5 months before started on Estroblock… and I found that for me it seemed to improve the acne I was getting at least a little bit .. definitely made it less noticeable, and allowed it to go away faster (and freed me from having to wash my face and do all that stuff).

However, it didn’t totally get rid of my acne because it was, in fact, hormonal. So… yeah. The caveman can only do so much if your acne is mainly hormonal and not caused by external factors. Though it will improve your skin if you are making your hormonal acne worse in any way by washing your face/using stuff on it

I’m curious as to how similar Vitex and Estroblock are? I was recommended Vitex by my naturopath about a month ago and haven’t yet noticed a significant difference in my chin and jawline acne (but I also know it takes some time to work). Do you know think Vitex also helps absorb some of the ‘bad’ estrogen (I am on oral contraceptives) or if it would be a good idea to try Vitex and Estroblock at the same time?

Hi Julia,
They are quite different. Vitex works on the pituitary gland in the brain and has the most notable effect of getting your body to raise progesterone if it’s low. Estroblock works on the liver with the estrogen metabolism. You can take them both at the same time.

I’m trying to figure out my acne…I seem to be fairly clear until the day after I ovulate and then all hell breaks loose! I literally woke up on Saturday with my face covered in tiny little red bumps which is a type of acne I’ve never had until recently – and I’m 29yrs old. (I quit Proactiv in April and it’s extremely tempting not to go back on it!) I have pinpointed the past 3 months to ovulation…my question is…I know most women break out near menstruation…should Estroblock be effective if breakouts occur at ovulation??

Do you think Estroblock could be used in conjunction with Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)? I stopped taking B5 back in Feb of this year and the cystic acne came back at full force. It got so bad that I began taking it again in May and just now my skin is starting to look better. I still have all these dark spots the acne left me with though, so depressing 🙁 The weird thing about my acne though, is that it usually only occurs under my chin and on the right side of my face. My left side and everywhere else is usually pretty clear. Could this maybe be some type of hormonal problem?

Hi Eddie,
Well, off the top of my head I don’t see why you couldn’t use them both, but I don’t know for sure. I don’t know how I feel about mega dosing on B5 anyway, I’m undecided. I just can’t imagine it’s a good idea to do for very long. Why did you decide to quit using it? Anyway – yeah, I would give Estroblock a shot and see if it works for you, it would probably be safer

Just wanted to let you know I read a report today given to me from my mom, that taking any kind of synthetic vitamins is actually very very bad for the body. They did a study on some individuals who smoked, where one group had vitamin A and E regularly for a certain amount of years, and another group had placebos. The group taking synthetic vitamins actually developed more cancer cells and gotten more sick! There was a lot more information to explain it. But I definitely wouldn’t recommend overdosing on any vitamins in general…I know some people use that as a way to treat acne.

I’ve been using a DIM supplement for the past 4 months (DIM Avail by Designs for Health. I get it through my naturopath) & I’ve noticed a marked improvement in my skin, but I’m still breaking out every few weeks. I initially wanted to try out EstroBlock, but my ND wasn’t too keen on me taking a supplement that included I3C, which I guess can block ovulation? Do you know about this?

I’m not sure where to go from here w/ the DIM. The formulation I use is 100mg per pill and I take two per day. I’m not sure if i should up my dose to three (it’s straight physician grade DIM. I think EstroBlock is a blend? So i’m not sure how to compare the measurements in, say, milligrams)? Or perhaps if i should pair it with a calcium d-glucarate supplement? I’m so tempted to try the EstroBlock, but I’m nervous about the I3C in their formulation…

Any thoughts or suggestions you have are much appreciated! My naturopath is knowledgeable and great — but i was the one who pushed to take the DIM supplement. I’m seeing her again this week, so i’m doing a little research now in preparation for the appointment…

I’m not sure about the I3C. I was not aware it could block ovulation? I don’t know, I will do more research and I will call again and see what they have to say about the alleged safety concerns with it, as I am curious.

I suppose it’s the “Dim Complex” in the regular strength that’s throwing me off — wondering what the percentage of straight DIM is in that formulation — perhaps i’ll call the company. Interesting that they use pure diindolymethane in the pro strength but not the regular strength. & yes! If you find out anything more about I3C & safety, please do let me know! This article talks a bit about the difference between I3C & DIM (though it doesn’t mention ovulation): http://www.dimfaq.com/site/I3C-safety.htm

Okay, I called them and I had a really long and awesome conversation with Nick Delgado himself. Although I don’t remember all the exact wording because it was a long conversation and he’s a science guy and I could only absorb so much, he basically said that he was also very concerned about the safety at first when he was formulating it but from all his research and literature he’s read, it appears as though the safety concerns only come at around 400 mg of I3C, and his contain only 50 mg each. Really nice guy, I felt like he really knew what he was talking about and seemed trustworthy. He also said they are working on this new thing called “Estroblock Cell Stabilizer” which will have an even greater positive effect when taken with Estroblock. .. they’re gonna send me a bottle. And they’re sending me saliva and hormone tests. Woohoo. I’ve always wanted to get that done so that I could have experience with it and write about hormone testing for those who want to get it done.

As long as you take it away from the thyroid medication by at least 3 hours. It is okay. In fact, those with hypothyroidism have elevated Estrogen levels. It is confirmed Estrogen dominance (if you go see a Naturopath for example). It can also impact the adrenals depending on severity. Most will also suffer from IBS, food intolerances/allergies, sinusitis, anemia, candida, and, of course, acne but a whole host of problems. I have both hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, anemia, IBS, candida, and acne and I’m in my 30s…now experiencing hair loss due to hypothyroidism and i’m female. I think Estroblock and the liv-tox will surely help with many of these issues. So excited! With excess estrogen (i’m thinking the bad xenoestrogens), there is water retention. So even though I know Estroblock increases the good estrogen, I don’t think it will contribute to water retention or bloating…hopefully not though I know estrogen is usually associated with these things.

Tracy, did you ever experience IBS before or after taking Estroblock? Do you think it will help with the bloating/gas/water retention?

Hi Tracy,
I found out about Estroblock from Fran which came at a time when my skin was horrible. My skin has been pretty bad most of my life but around xmas 2012, i had a new cystic Acne (deep, painful, lasts sometimes weeks/months) almost every day (maybe not every day but it sure felt like it) and in random places…upper lip, chin, forehead. I started taking the 3 pills a day around March and within a week or so my skin was so much better. I thought I had finally (finally) found my answer.

However, that goodness lasted maybe 2 months? I am still taking the 3 pills/day and my diet has not changed, but my skin (especially around ovulation) is back to being horrible again with cystic acne.

Could it be that my body got used to the formula? I’m at such a loss!!

Aw I’m sorry to hear it stopped working for you Sonya 🙁 .. I’m not sure why. I feel like I remember Fran saying in her hormonal acne webinar that in cases like this where it stops working, she thinks it’s a liver related thing. Are you taking liver herbs, or anything like that?

Do you think it be bad to combine estroblock with testosterone reducing supplements and vitex? I started taking the testoquench about 8 months ago and that seemed to be working fine on its own, and then I added in the vitex and thought it seemed to be helping… But now my skin has just gone downhill again (more cystic stuff which I wasn’t getting before…) I’d like to try estroblock again (I was using it a while back but I thought it wasn’t really doing anything, and that the testoquench was the supplement that was making the real difference, but now I’m not so sure anymore…) Would that be too much to throw at my body all at once? I’m getting ready to go back to benzoyl peroxide again which I really don’t wanna have to do…

Sorry Leanna, it’s only available via the US at horrendous shipping prices!! 🙁 I gotta pay them too, up in Canada. For me, it’s worth it though. Also, they told me yesterday if you order three or more bottles (I think it was three), you could get a discount if you call them (the Delgado protocol) to order it (as opposed to online), which may help with the shipping costs. == US people, that doesn’t apply to you since you already get very cheap shipping via Amazon.

I just ordered 2 bottles of triple strength estroblock from Amazon and it ended up costing NZD $123.55 -quite pricey but whats done is done (will take your advice and order 3 next time) Thank you for your reply (: xx

So thats.. like $100 Canadian.. that sounds about right! That actually sounds like less than I paid in shipping to Canada ordering it from the actual Delgado website. I might try amazon.com next time to see if it’s cheaper international shipping

Hey Tracey! my estroblock arrived! YAY!! I am about to start doing Dr Schulze’s bowel cleanse and I wondered if I should do that first THEN start taking the estroblock, or if its okay to be doing to cleanse and taking the capsules in between my cleanings drinks/juices etc?
Oh and I have something for you! Ive been listeing to this AMAZING dr/scientist/raw/yoga/guru and evenyone told to listen to him has absolutely loved all the info he shares! I really think he’s spot on with the health approach, have a listen to some of the video’s from this playlist… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2XpzrdzfYc&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL2EBTATY1S1-adfQFXemFRTgyF4Zcw2sy when you have some free time, its worth it! let me know what you think afterwards aswell 🙂 Thanks so much xxx

Yay! Hope it works amazingly for you 🙂 Well, I don’t really know for sure, but I don’t really see any reason why you couldn’t do them at the same time. Unless starting all of it at the same time produces too much of a detox effect for you. Anyway, I will check out this health guy, thank you!

Hi Tracy, your site and finding out about estroblock almost made me cry with relief that I may have FINALLY found a cure for whats going on inside and causing my acne. I’m about to order it but was confused about the line on Amazon that it is a testosterone booster, isn’t that what I don’t want since too much testosterone/androgen is what’s causing my acne? I like how you explained that the high level of bad estrogen is what causes our acne-inducing testosterone to increase, which is why balancing that out with Estroblock is good. I’ve spent all night and day researching and totally get what and why Estroblock is good, it all makes sense except for this last minute testosterone boosting claim on the bottle. ?

From my understanding from when I talked to Nick Delgado on the phone – just as there’s different types of estrogen, there’s different types of testosterone… I guess the bad estrogens in the body oppose and suppress the good testosterone (responsible for good effects like sex drive, etc), and drive up the bad testosterone/androgens responsible for things like acne, and balding. The reason they advertise it as a testosterone booster is likely because that would be one of the main reason men would want to use it – to stop the xenoestrogens from suppressing their good testosterone supply. It’s just that the statement kinda scares people with acne :/

The majority of my acne is around my mouth, on my chin, and along my jaw, as is the common placement for “hormonal” acne. However, this acne isn’t necessarily cystic, it’s more like congested and clogged pores, and I have never noticed any kind of fluctuation or increase in the amount or severity during or around my period. Does that mean that while it is in the place that hormonal acne is typically found, it is not necessarily hormonal acne? I’m asking because I’m unsure whether Estroblock would help me to get rid of it if it really isn’t hormonal acne. (I know that all acne is technically hormonal, but I’m talking more about the fact that it isn’t affected by my period and isn’t cystic.)
Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew whether estroblock pro was safe to take during pregnancy? I ordered a bottle off amazon only to find out I was pregnant before even getting to start them. I’m super apprehensive to take anything while pregnant, but I was hoping it might be okay seeing how it’s all natural. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks!

Hi Tracey I was wondering how do you know if you have hormone imbalance and if estro block is good for you. I do get more break outs before menstrual cycle and I been having facial chin hairs from a teenager. My mom and sister also have it.

Hi Tracy,
Your article made me want to try Estroblock, but I have a question : I considered taking saw palmetto because I have signs of a possible testosterone excess (I’m a girl) : acne, hair loss, and a little too much facial hair.

So, do you happen to know if DIM and saw palmetto can be taken at the same time? Or would DIM alone be enough to correct the hormonal imbalance?

Tracy asked me to reply to her comments while she is away without internet access. Anyway, let me answer your question;) : You can definitely take both supplements – saw palmetto and estroblock – at the same time, there won‘t be any problems. I wish you lots of luck!

So, I just started taking estroblock like a week ago and everything seemed to be going great – until yesterday. I woke up with the worst breakout I’ve EVER had. I’m taking one with bfast and one with dinner, but I think you said you were taking three per day, Tracy? Anyway…do you think I should bump up how many I take? Or maybe stop? Did anyone else have this problem and if so how long til things simmered down?

do you take any liver supporting herbs as well (milk thistle, burdock root, tumeric, ginger,…). It sounds like your liver needs a break. I wouldn‘t bump up your intake for the moment and do some liver work instead.

Thank YOU!!!I have been following your blog for several years and have taken your advice on many things. Estroblock is a total winner!! I had cleared my acne probably by half and I started Estroblock 2 weeks ago…my acne is GONE. My face feels so soft like never before. My acne has never been totally gone like this. I keep thinking is this for real.. when is it going to stop working.. am I dreaming?!?!

Hey Tracy, thanks so much for all the info on your website! Have you ever looked at estrosmart (it’s canadian) I’ve been taking now for about 2 months and thought i was experiencing an improvement but now have had some more significant breakouts. I’m taking 6 a day which only amounts to about 150 mg of DIM – wondering if I need to up my dose? I’ve had very mild cyclical acne for the last several years (although interestingly not right before my period as many but usually when I get my period for about a week or so and then again mid-cycle (so feels like basically all the time). Then went on birth control late Dec and also changed my diet to significantly reduce sugar and started taking probiotics and things were great….until around April when things got really out of control. Finally figured that perhaps it was due to the birth control so went off it in July and started with Estrosmart. Just don’t know if I haven’t given it enough time or should be taking a higher dose? Any thoughts? Thanks so much.

Hi Sara – hmm looking at Estrosmart, it looks like it has a lot of I3C, which apparently at higher doses like that is not considered to be all that safe (although it’s fine at smaller doses, like as in Estroblock, which has 50 mg). I also can’t verify the quality of the ingredients in Estrosmart, which means I don’t know how well it absorbs and does what it’s supposed to do.

Thanks for all your information! I have been taking Estroblock for @ 3 weeks, and have started to see my cystic acne ‘not re-appear’ (hoping this leads to further clearing)! In addition, have been on Vitex for @ 3 months and have been eating very clean (no dairy, etc). My question relates to migraines (already mentioned) and moodswings (up&down), which I’ve been experiencing many of the past 3 weeks. Is this experienced more with Estroblock, or Vitex? Just hoping to get this relatively under-control, but still feel like myself(!) Many thanks

Hi Julianna,
Hmm… seems like the migraines seem to be correlated with Estroblock, according to a few people posting above. Are you getting them a lot? I haven’t heard of mood swings being caused by it, but nothing’s impossible. You’ve been on Vitex for three months without issue?

Thanks for the response Tracy. I’ve picked up another product called Estro Adapt (canadian made by AOR) which I’ll take in tandem with the Estrosmart so I don’t overdo it on IC3. Thanks again for all the great info here.

Hi Tracy! 🙂 My only question is that Estroblock labels itself as a “testosterone booster.” I have pcos, and women with pcos have elevated testosterone… so i’m afraid that maybe this supplement will leave me with worse skin problems? Thank you so much, your feedback is always incredible.

“when you have a lot of bad estrogen, testosterone (aka androgens) have to rise to match it. Except the only form of testosterone potent enough to match it is not the happy “good” testosterone responsible for sex drive and other fun things – it’s DHT, the form of testosterone responsible for acne.

So… in other words… using Estroblock combined with avoiding xenoestrogens lowers the bad estrogen –> lowers your DHT –> gets rid of acne. He confirmed again that it was incredible for men’s acne and teenage acne too, not just us ladies.”

So basically… Estroblock will naturally improve your good testosterone levels, but bring down DHT and androgens responsible for acne, facial hair, and other PCOS symptoms 🙂

I have PCOS as well, and am finally making the decision to CURE it instead of using the medical “band-aids” available. Went off the pill 6 months ago, haven’t had a period since. Acne is raging all over my chin and cheeks (which is how I was initially diagnosed with PCOS. They did bloodwork for heavy duty acne meds and saw how high my testosterone levels were. An ultrasound confirmed I have a wicked case of PCOS). I started Estroblock 2 months ago and so far my acne has only increased. I really really want this to work for me, but I’m thinking that Estroblock bringing down my estrogen levels is only heightening the fact that my testosterone is out of control. I’ve never had acne this bad. I’m not giving up on Estroblock but if I don’t see any improvements after 6 mos of Estroblock, I’m going to have to give up for monetary reasons and go grab that Spironolactone script again. It effectively cleared my face up in one month back when I needed it. I HATE the idea of prescription meds and synthetic chemicals but I also can’t deal with severe cystic acne. Hopefully my doctor can help me balance my hormones naturally but I’m at the end of my rope, and if Spironolactone will help I’ll go back. Ugh.

Hi Tracy! I’ve been doing a candida diet for about a year and my skin has never been this good. I still suffer from the monthly breakout though, always around the chin. I’ve been doing milk thistle and burdock tea, thinking about adding chasteberry or estroblock pro. I just want to say thanks for getting me to stop picking and to ditch the benzoyl. I recently started my own website, trying to teach people about health in general, things like using oregano oil instead of antibiotics. My question is when did you start the love vitamin and how did you get this many followers? Any advice is always appreciated!

Hey Emily – good luck with your blog! 🙂 I started the Love Vitamin in January 2011.. so like… 2 1/2 – 3 years ago. You get this many followers just by being vulnerable and personable, and creating quality content that people find really useful (in other words, your work helps them to solve a problem they have). Of course there are some special tricks, like how to structure your blog properly, etc, but .. that’s all stuff you can learn online 🙂 Just get on the ol’ google machine haha

Also what’s your number 1 for cystic scarring? I’ve never had a facial but now that’s it’s calmed down I’m thinking about getting one. I’m a RN with 2 years experience in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. I discussed aromatase inhibitors daily but never thought of taking them myself. It’s all clicking…I can’t wait to try this estroblock.

I’ve been on estroblock for a month now and i think it is helping my hormonal acne, i ordered some more 2 weeks ago from their website but it hasn’t arrived yet. Im in Vancouver BC! I’m freaking out as I just took one this morning and I don’t have any left, i didn’t think it would take that long to get to me! Do you think a few days off it would affect me too much? I’m so scared of breaking out again because i haven’t had a breakout since I started it! I hope it comes soon.

Hi Joanna – How long did it take you to get it the first time? Usually it takes two or three weeks to get to me (also near Vancouver) when I order it from their website. Don’t freak out please, I can’t say how a few days off will affect you… you might have no breakout, or you may have one, but freaking out about it will make it more likely! Even if you do, you are strong enough to get through it, I know it. You’ll get the shipment really soon and it will be like nothing ever happened.

Hi Tracy! Forgive me if you have covered this already but do you know if the DIM interferes with thyroid medication? I currently take Armour thyroid twice a day morning and late afternoon. I searched online and couldn’t find any good information on if it did interfere or not. Is is something I can still take and maybe just space it out from my thyroid medication? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Actually, good question… since DIM is made from cruciferous vegetables which are known to be goitrogenic, it could potentially be an issue for those with thyroid issues, but I don’t actually know if it is or not. Like I don’t know if DIM itself is a goitrogen. I would call the Delgado Protocol, I bet Nick Delgado (the maker of Estroblock) would know a fair bit about whether there’s an issue there or not.

I feel like I am about to go crying back to benzoyl peroxide. I have been on dim for 2 months, estroblock for 1 and my period came around and have the worst skin I have ever experienced.
I am good on diet, attempt lowering my stress, get sun and exercise in, and am still suffering like 4 cysts on my chin, a small deep rooted blemish on my upper lip. My cheeks are messed my forhead has clogs. I do EVERYTHING and I look disgusting 🙁 2 people even pointed it out when I went out last night and I just want to die

Hi Olivia, I’m sorry to hear this 🙁 It could be a detox reaction, but I don’t know for sure. I would suggest please seeing a naturopath that can perhaps fill in the blanks for you as to what’s going on with your skin.

That’s what I was thinking, I am taking the pro strength. I called the company and asked if this would be too strong to start off with via fran saying to be careful with it. They were like “who told you that, pro is for acne sufferers” so idk ;/ only time will tell I guess

I just purchased Estroblock having dealt with hormonal acne for about a year now (and mild acne during my teenage years). I was just wondering if you recommend adding a liver support supplement to take along with it? I eat a mostly clean diet and take a daily probiotic and dong quai root (to help with cramping). Thanks for all the information you’ve provided on your site! It’s been my main reference point as I want to treat this as naturally as possible.

Thanks for the recommendation! However, when I looked into it, many liver support supplements contain herbs in the same family as ragweed, which I am pretty allergic to. Although I won’t know until I try, I’m very cautious to try it as I don’t want to get an allergic reaction. Have you heard of this before or done any research on alternatives for liver support?

i’ve tried estroblock for 2 weeks now from the company you recommended and it’s been like a tiny miracle. it’s right before my period and usually i’d be breaking out like crazy, but not this time, which has to be the first time in 2 years that my skin has actually started to heal and not break out… i know that ordering times can take 2-3 weeks for more DIM from that company, and it cost me £55 in total to get just one bottle to the UK last time, so i researched and found this… do you think it will be as good?!http://www.nutricentre.com/p-55034-dim-100mg-30-capsules.aspx

Woohoo! That’s great to hear 🙂
As for other DIM supplements.. the reason I recommend Estroblock is because it’s apparently made with much higher quality ingredients than other brands/DIM supplements and specially formulated with it’s blend of ingredients to absorb and, well, be effective. And I also tried a cheaper DIM supplement prior to Estroblock, for me it didn’t do anything, where as Estroblock worked a treat. So that’s why I am all about Estroblock, but I’m not saying other DIM supplements won’t work or that you shouldn’t try them. You can certainly give it a shot, because if it works for you, it would definitely be nice to spend less.

Hi Tracy! Well I just want to share that I started taking Estroblock about two months ago and it has worked great! The terrible break outs I was having have stopped 🙂 I first ordered the regular Estroblock, and the second time I ordered the Pro triple Strengthen. Now, I’m almost done with the Triple Strengthen and I tried ordering them again and it says that they are currently unavailable 🙁 I really want to buy them again. Do you know anything about this?

That’s great to hear it’s worked so well! Yes I just noticed yesterday it’s unavailable, I don’t know why, I’ve never seen it be temporarily unavailable before. I hope it’s not for long. I may call and find out

They said there suppose to have more by first week of October . Jessica if you don’t mind sharing how long did it take for you to see results ? I have taken this on several occasions but only religiously for a week and gave up cause I was impatient but now I started taking it again .. 3 a day of the pro and I am hoping to see results … In how long do u think ill see or should expect results ? I am also taking other great things as well as there cell stabilizer that nick came out with recently and is suppose to help the estro block pro work even better . Also if u can share ur dosages and anything else you’ve been doing .. I am rly considering going on birth control or accutane but before that putting all my hope on estro ( of course other great things iv learned from Tracy etc … ) but honestly I don’t know if these natural approaches will work for me :(( any advice / support / feedback I’d really appreciate

Hey Leora, oh good, thanks for letting us know when they’ll have more. As for you, a week is nothing.. it took me about two months before I saw the full results with the regular Estroblock. Patience 🙂 You gotta give things a fair chance before giving up on them

Hello Leora, yes I called this morning and they told me the same thing. Well it took me about a little more than a month to see results. Be patient and persistent! Give it time to work. We are all different and it may take longer for other people. The important thing is that you don’t give up. When I first ordered the regular estroblock I took 3 per day, and with the triple strengthen I take 2 per day. Another thing that I believe has helped me is the Manuka Honey Tracy recommended. It’s great! I have used it as a cleanser in the morning and before bedtime.

What Estroblock does is that when you have a lot of bad estrogens, it drives up the androgens responsible for acne. When you improve your good to bad estrogen ratio (with Estroblock), it brings those androgen levels down. I say give it a try.

Hi Tracy!
So glad I found your blog!!
After a little research about acne and infertility I think I may have pcos. I read your response to the one girl that had pcos (explaining the bad estrogens causes androgens to rise to match it….etc). I was wondering if you think the estroblock pro would be better than the regular for someone that has pcos since i saw it had different ingredients (seems more pure). Or is there someone from the website/company you know of that I could contact to get a better idea? Thanks so much!!
-Michelle

Hi Michelle 🙂
Well, it sounds like the Pro is more effective, due to the amount of DIM in it and the way it is formulated with the other ingredients. You can also talk to the company directly if you wish: http://delgadoprotocol.com/sample-page/

Hi Tracy, I love your blog and all of the great information! I feel like I can finally trust something that I read on the internet, so thank you for that!

Along with so many others, I found out about Estroblock from your blog first. I then began to research it as much as I could. While there isn’t a TON of information on this specific brand itself, I felt there was enough feedback from other users and your blog to support trying it for myself.

I wanted to start with the Estroblock Pro because I recently (3 weeks ago) went off of birth control after being on it for close to 10 years (on and off). What is interesting is that the one and only birth control that didn’t make me feel sick at all and kept my skin crystal clear was Yaz, yet I ended up switching due to the scary reports that people were having on it with the blood clots etc. Anyway, after trying several birth controls and feeling SO miserable and still continuing to get acne, I’ve decided to stay off of it for life. I just don’t trust it anymore.

So, a few days ago, I decided I would purchase the Estroblock Pro since you also said that people may want to go straight for that strength and lighten up later on. On Amazon, the Pro was not available for the time being due to lack of stock, so I called the company, and to my surprise, their warehouse is literally a 5 minute drive from my house, here in Southern California. With that benefit, I was able to drive to purchase the Pro today and spoke with a nice woman about my situation, how I should handle the dosage, hormonal testing etc.

But, I am now thinking I should have just waited and had hormonal testing done first. One of the main reasons I wanted to receive the product and begin taking it a.s.a.p, was because I have a pretty big and important event very soon and was hoping to lessen my current, awful chin/forehead acne. I also have night sweats, losing hair, insomnia, irregular periods (endometriosis), and again, the awful acne, plus a range of other issues. Due to these symptoms, I am almost positive that I do have estrogen dominance, but I figured, as I read from others, that even if I am having other hormonal issues, helping to get rid of the bad estrogens can help everything as a whole. But, I will still have the hormonal testing done soon..

Yet, since I have now bought the product and there is no going back on that, I decided to begin with 2 pills earlier today. The lady from the Delgado Protocol office did say that she used to take 2 of the pills at the same time, but others prefer to take 1 in the morning/1 in the evening. So, I just decided to take 2 pills at once, as the bottle also states. Well, just a few hours ago, I began to experience very bad dizziness, a ongoing headache and exhaustion that seemed to come on very quickly out of no where.

Have you heard from anyone or read anywhere that is normal or expected with such a detox?

I am also on two detox teas (with burdock, dandelion, and other liver supporting herbs) and kefir, but plan on getting on an actual supplement for my liver soon.

I’m just confused if something could actually be wrong or again, this is what can possibly happen with beginning a detox when I’ve never ever done one before.

Also, with the Pro, do you suggest continuing on with the 2 pills at the same time and see if these negative symptoms go away during the coming days or should I break up the dosage to twice a day or even begin with 1 pill a day for a bit (I think I’m fearful that this just won’t be strong enough and a waste of time/money) ?

Anyway, thank you so much for this blog and all that you do to provide such great information, advice, etc. I also appreciate and thank you for any time spent answering my questions.

Hi Alyssa, yikes. Well, a few other ladies above say that they experienced headaches and such after using it, but I’m honestly not sure whether that could be part of a detox (as Fran above said it can create a detox, and headaches and fatigue are pretty classic detox symptoms) or if for some people that ends up being a side effect of the supplement itself, in which case I wold stop. The dizziness sounds very concerning. I honestly don’t know, but I don’t know if I could say just keep taking it in good conscience if that’s what it does for you. You could try experimenting to see if taking only one, or maybe even opening the pill and taking half, has the same effect. If it is in fact a detox, then starting slow and building up dosage over a few days would minimize the bad effects until you got used to it. Wish I could give you a more definitive answer.

I think you are experiencing a detox. I just had what fran calls a “healing crisis”. A day of full body ache, headache, fatigue and fever. I was completing my first month of estroblock along with drinking yogi detox tea every morning in replace of my coffee. Ride it out for a few days and see how you feel.

I also thought it was easier to take 2 pills once in the morning but I called the company and they said it was more beneficial to take one in the morning and one at night to keep the product in your system.

When you take 2 pills together it could be too much for your body to process and you aren’t absorbing all the herbal nutrients anyways, just peeing it out.

Hi, I have had hormonal acne for 20 years (im now 33), ive been on accutane twice (both times cleared it but always came back within a year), tried every antibiotic, topical etc. i get large hard red pimples week before my period & during ovulation the other 2 weeks are trying to recover from those 2 so i am hardly ever clear. I tried Estrosmart for about 9/10 months but results were not that great (especially for costs (incl shipping to scotland), so i stopped it, i have ordered estroblock but I am not sure what the difference is between estroblock & estrosmart. Do u know?
Im also interested in it shifting stubborn belly fat, i am uk8 (us4), exercise most days, eat healthy yet i can never shift this pot belly! So that would be a winner if it did that too! But seriously its my skin that rules my life so thats my main priority, I really hope it works ..but as a doctor once told me “i’m looking for a miracle thats never going to happen” (..how sympathetic eh?!)

Hi Ann, the two supplements are formulated differently, so hopefully Estroblock works for you where Estrosmart didn’t. Your situation you described – acne before period & menstruation, stubborn belly fat – sounds like it should be what you need

Hi Tracy 🙂 I really love how you talk about natural ways to cure acne, I am so for that, just i’ve tried eating healthy and I drink tons of water but nothing happened for my skin, also even though I do like natural face washes and moisturizers my skin is just VERY sensitive to even natural fragrances it’s crazy lol so had to uses a product called VaniCream, which I like. Anyways, sorry got off topic,so I would actually like to ask you about Estroblock, I am 19 and my hormones of course are sometimes crazy, I do have acne due to my crazy hormones, I did ask a doctor about Estroblock and he did say it should be fine to take just still I should be careful even if it’s natural, I am not up for taking birth control because I know it’s basically fake hormones they put in your body, so anyways would you recommend me starting off with the regular or the Triple since its my first time ever using Estroblock?

Hi Tori 🙂
Well, if you have a congested liver, apparently the triple can sometimes cause a detox reaction, in which case it would be best to start off with regular and work your way up. But, that might not happen, and they do say the triple is more effective (and is from what I’ve noticed with myself). All in all, it’s up to you.

Okay, thank you 🙂 so I actually decided that I may just try out 100 mg of Bioavailable DIM, will start off with just taking 1 pill then gradually moving up if I can, I may even get a headache from DIM because I think my Liver might be congested, so why I just want to start off with taking one. I am a bit concerned about the I3C in Estroblock even though there is only 50mg in the regular so want to just try DIM. I have a question, so I have a good menstrual Cycle, it comes on time every month usually and I have it for about week, so I would like to know if you may know if DIM or Estroblock will mess up a Menstrual Cycle? Like have you ever heard of it doing that?

Hi Mely,
Some people say it can hurt your belly a bit if you take it on an empty stomach. Not sure why it does that exactly. I always take it with food, and it’s never caused a problem. Although I used to find when I took the regular estroblock, occasionally it would give me a vague feeling like really mild heartburn for a little while after taking it (it really wasn’t very bad), but oddly I find that the Estroblock triple strength doesn’t do that at all.

Okay:) so another question for you, since DIM or Estroblock help with acne by the way of the Liver, I saw that you said that, so by any chance would you think that just by taking a liver detox pill like Liv-Tox by itself would help with hormones and acne? like what is the difference between Liv-Tox and DIM?

Liv-tox helps your liver to detoxify on the whole, which allows it to do it’s job better of filtering toxins and hormones etc. It should help acne on it’s own, but maybe not as much as taking DIM. DIM kind of does the same thing except it works on a very specific liver pathway that affects bad estrogen levels.

Hi. I went to a naturalpath about 2 and 1/2 months ago. I did the saliva hormone test. My results came back with progesterone below normal and estrogens above normal. My naturalpathe said she had never seen anything like it. In fact, she said, numerous times, that she doesn’t know how I function as well as I do. I went to her because of serious PMS (rage, etc.) and acne. I am 37 years old and have regular periods. She started me out on estroguard. Is this similar to estroblock? It made me extremely weepy. I was constantly crying. Was on this for a few weeks. Because of the side effects she took me off that and put me on Vitex. I was on 800mg (4 pills)for about 6 weeks and was having weird vaginal symptoms. Irritation and burning. Nothing showed up when I went to my gynecologist so we assume its from the hormonal changes caused by the vitex. So after being on vitex at 800 mg for about 6 weeks she took me down to 400 mg. The vaginal symptoms still linger but not as bad as before. I have noticed that I don’t pms as bad, but my acne has not changed at all. I am also on 30mg of zinc/day. Please help me. Should I add estroblok to the vitex? Does the Estroblock even help with acne or is it strictly to help the liver? Is Estroblock the same as Estrogurard? Thank you so much!

Hi there, that’s strange, I didn’t realize that was such an uncommon combination of hormones. In fact, I thought it was fairly common (ie. estrogen dominance). Anyway, sorry to hear the supplements aren’t going well! By Estroguard, I assume you mean the one by Swanson? If so, the ingredients are quite different from Estroblock, so you very well may have a different reaction to Estroblock. Estroblock will help acne by way of the liver.

Estroblock – three of the regular, or 2 of the triple strength, although you may want to start off with less and build up to that because it may create a detox reaction for you. Also a liver supplement is recommended to extra support, such as I describe in this article: https://thelovevitamin.com/6855/treat-female-hormonal-acne/

Ok. Gonna stay on 400mg of vitex and am thinking of incorporating estroblock pro and livtox. Should I start both at the same time or one at a time? Also, what dosage of each should I start with. Also curious to what you think of emu oil for the face. Thanks, Tracy w.

Hi Tracy, you can start them at the same time. Liv tox you can just take one a day and continue with one per day. Estroblock.. it can cause detox reactions so it can be best to start with one and work up to two over a couple of weeks, or you can just plunge right in with two if that suits you better

Detox reactions could be anything to do with feeling bad… tired, foggy, flu symptoms, and sometimes a worsening of acne. But it goes away very soon and things get better after that. Doesn’t seem to happen to most people with this supplement though. Emu oil, I don’t have much of an opinion, sorry.

Ok. So I tried Estroblock (regular) at only 1 pill per day. I immediately had the same reaction that I had to Estroguard but within the first 24 hours! I cried uncontrollably like my world was ending. I took the pill for 4 days and stopped. The crying completely stopped the next day. I’m wondering if its the DIM that I cannot tolerate? I feel hopeless now. I also ordered LivTox which I have yet to start. Would LivTox still be beneficial without the Estroblock? I’m still taking Vitex as well. What are the possible side effects of LivTox?

Hi Tracy, what Ness said above might shine some light on why people are experiencing symptoms from this:

“Just wanted to give some advice on taking diindolylmethane as a now qualifed nutritionist, woohoo! In order to effectively clear the “bad oestrogen” from the body, a phase two liver support is required such as the Liv-tox supplement. Phase two nutrients include amino acids such as cysteine and methionine, herbal remedies such as milk thistle. And phase three detoxification (as it’s now termed) needs to be supported through bowel clearance. So eating plenty of organic fruits and vegetable with the skin, exercising, pure water, having psyllium husk and slippery elm can aid with this. Using Estroblock alone, ‘ramps’ up phase one which can cause headaches and a re-circulation of toxins into the blood stream, if this is not supported by phase two.”

Is the triple strength Estroblock still available? It looks like it’s not on Amazon, and I didn’t see it on the Delgado website…I just started taking the regular version, which says to take two a day, but will probably start with 3 a day as my acne is really bad right now. I did the 7 day candida cleanse, and my digestion has improved, but my skin is still lagging behind. I’ve been taking Vitex now for about 2 weeks and am continuing with the Primal Defense probiotics. I stopped taking the Candigone because I’m afraid it could become ineffective with long term use (although the box says you can use it for 3 months straight…)I know I have high cortisol (blood test), so not sure if there is anything else I can do to reduce the cysts…I eat very clean, so just trying to be patient 🙂

First of all I want to say big thank you for what you are doing. Your site helped me a lot and i’m sure helping so many people around the world. I had a bad case of hormonal acne before I started the diet and the Estroblock. This helped me so much.

My question is: do you think that Estroblock Pro formula can reduce sex drive and make you irritable? These are the side effects that i am experiencing since i started Estroblock Pro.

Hi Elena, well it’s not supposed to do that- but in any case, I suppose it could if you removing the bad estrogen happens to be causing your good testosterone levels to come down too much that it’s affecting your libido and mood. So I would say .. it might pass, or it’s up to you if these side effects are not worth it :/ sorry you’re experiencing them!

Hey Tracy! Ah I have written on here too much lol I read in one of these posts that Estroblock temporarily increases androgen levels? I am on my 2nd month of Estroblock and my skin is horrible. Constant acne especially on my chin and some cysts on my neck. Do you think this is because my hormones are so out of whack? I want to give Estroblock a good 3 months before I call it quits but this breakout is leaving me with horrible hyper pigmentation. Im worried for the future of my face… help 🙁

No, my acne was bad but it wasn’t all over my neck and my chin had a few pimples, not it is just covered. I stopped taking Estroblock 2 days ago unfortunately, the outcome was too crazy :\ back to the drawing board….

I would think that it would replace Liv-tox. The Delgado protocol sent me a bottle of it but I need to call and ask them to tell me exactly what it does. As for your other question… honestly, I’m not sure. It might be either.

I spoke to Delgado and the estroblock does not detox the liver so in my opinion if u have a congested liver u could break out. I don’t think I’ve broken out from the product but I only take between 1 and 4 caps per day of the regular . I really don’t take a liver detox supplement regularly mainly because I might get preggers. Haven’t tried the one Tracy recommends however the cell stabilizer detoxes the liver so u wouldn’t need both.
Hope that helps!
Rachel at Delgado said the cell stabilizer is ok to take during pregnancy 1 cap but I’d kinda like to see that in writing from nick . Apparently estroblock is also ok 1 cap/day while preggers which Tracy already mentioned

Thanks for the great article… I ordered Estroblock 2 weeks ago after reading it on your site. I know that this may sound ridiculous but every review I read is claiming that they saw an improvement instantly or within 2 weeks. It seems like my skin has gotten just a little worse in the last two days (a couple pimps and little bumps). Can you tell me that I’m overreacting and that I need to give it more time please? Haha, I always stress myself out in these situations when things don’t work right away.. bad quality! xx

okay, I have been doing my own research on estroblock and dim. From what I read it frees up testosterone and from my understanding increased free testosterone is what gives up acne. Can you help explain this to me? Thanks. PS. I ordered estroblock!

I’m 23… I’ve been suffering with a recurring breakout on the right side of my chin for the past two years. I’ve tried EVERYTHING on the planet and it always comes back :(… Even heavy acne medications and birth control which messed with my head no matter how much the “helped my skin” (never again)!

Do you think estroblock can help with this problem? I’m just so overwhelmed after everything I’ve tried over the last two years 🙁

Hi Roberta, I think it’s worth a try. It’s definitely by far the best supplement i’ve ever tried for my stubborn, won’t budge no matter what chin breakouts. If it doesn’t work…. do you have fluoride in your drinking water or used fluoridated toothpaste? That’s another possible reason for breakouts around the chin and mouth that won’t budge

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I use automère toothpaste which is free of all kinds of yucky stuff. I plan on adopting your manuka and jojoba regiment in about a month… After I go the supplement route for a bit. I also ordered milk thistle… But I also saw the info about burdock root. Do you have a recommendation for the best combo to add with the estroblock?

After a few months of reading your site I was inspired to start DIM. For the last 22 years I have tried unsuccessfully to treat my acne and I have horrible cycles that now that I’m in my 30’s are making normal life impossible (from excruciating cramps to inflamed gums making it impossible to eat, going to the ER with my arms going numb, losing my job repeatedly, etc). I ordered some Nature’s Way DIM Plus and some calcium d glucarate and started taking one a day of each in the morning. But now two weeks into it I just had a cycle with worse cramping than I’ve had in a long time, my face is broken out in little white dots (unlike the occasional cluster of cysts I used to have) and I have been cycling every few minutes from rage to despair. I must have cried about 20 times yesterday and have spent the past 2 days thinking seriously about how to kill myself. But this morning I didn’t take anything and suddenly I found my mood was restored to normal. I tried to look up mood swings on DIM and found a link to a bodybuilding forum where a few guys on there were saying that DIM was giving them rage and mood problems: Mood swings from preworkout supplement? – Bodybuilding.com Forums. I was also having a lot of pressure in the middle of my head whenever I stood up and my eyes have been hurting, a side effect that someone who reviewed DIM had – she said it was dangerous and should have a warning label. I’m so desperate to solve my incurable acne and menstrual dysfunction which seems to get worse every month and even had me considering a sex change as I’m terrified of menopause! I’m wondering if this is just a transitional phase and I should tough it out or if this is not normal and I should stop taking it and try again with something else, like maybe just the calcium d glucarate (which I was fine on before starting DIM) and adding burdock root or something.

Hey J – yikes, well – it’s hard to say if it’s transitional phase or not. It is thought that initial symptoms are due to either detox, or a congested liver, or perhaps it is a side effect that you’re experiencing, but I’m not sure how to tell which one it is for you! That is a pretty strong reaction you’re having from just one pill of DIM.

I have been taking estroblock, vitex, and burdock for a little over a week now and my skin is exploding with huge cysts. I can’t take it! I want to quit the estroblock but I’m not sure if I should try to stick it out longer and see. It seems like most people have had great results with it without having the skin purge, so I feel like maybe it is making my hormone balance worse. What do you think?

Hi Tracy, I would like to ask if you (or the Lovevitamin readers) have any experience with taking Saw Palmetto. I am trying to balance my hormones but it seems that nothing works for me. I took Estroblock and Vitex but I did not have success with them, so I decided to try Saw Palmetto. I would love to know your opinion on this supplement 🙂

Hi Katka, I really need to refresh myself on saw palmetto. I believe when I looked into it before, I concluded that it looked promising for women, but that it might have some negative side effects for men. But then again, everything seems to have side effects for someone, so that’s not really saying that much. Anyway, maybe someone else here has experience with it and could chime in on it.

If you are worried about gaining weight I would NOT take saw palmetto . I thought its a good solution for me but after only one week of taking it it made me very curvy and fatter … I felt horrible .. Along side with that it makes your breast bigger too. … So I think it all depends if your weight catious do not even bother. All your healthy eating goes to waste

I am so happy I found your website this summer. As a 28 year old who has suffered from acne since my early teens, my acne has only gotten worse since I have gotten older. It became very cystic and my face hurt all the time. After different antibiotics and creams and lotions from the dermatologist his last option for me was Accutane which I was absolutely against. I gave up all dairy and that helped my cystic acne a ton. Especially the painful ones at my hairline on my neck. But my face was still pretty much a mess. When I found your page I decided to try burdock root and milk thistle before DIM. I can’t say that it helped at all, but it didn’t make things worse either. I decided to finally give in and try DIM. I did not get Estroblock, I went with Nature’s Way brand. I think I will take this stuff forever! My skin cleared up so much it is wonderful! Even just the overall color and texture of my skin improved. AND I lost almost 20 pounds in 2 months! I feel so much better about myself. I’m not overweight, but have some pounds to lose and this was such a wonderful side effect. I have no doubt that it was from the DIM. My skin wasn’t 100% yet and what helped with the last little bit of acne I would get was switching my foundation from a drugstore liquid to a powder foundation (Bare Minerals). That took my skin to a whole new level that I never thought I could have. Now if I can just figure out a way to clear the dark spots and past scarring I will be so happy.

Thanks so much for this article. Ive been usin estroblock for at least 2 weeks now—i only take one pill a day, and it has totally cleared up the hormonal acne on my jawline. The acne had started up randomly about 3 months ago and no matter what i did it wouldnt go away! After researching online i was led to believe it was a hormonal problem—that brought me here and now my problem is solved. Thanks so much! Clear skin makes me feel beautiful and confident, and those months before were pretty rough. Makes a huge difference 🙂

I’m a guy and have for years been trying to combat bad skin from a diet and mental/emotional perspective, but to no avail. I’ve tried all kinds of long term interventions but nothing has ever made a difference :\

I thought the hormonal aspect of it to be because of insulin and androgens like DHT, not realising that excess DHT could in turn be caused by estrogen imbalances. I’ve never approached it from that side so I just ordered a 3 month supply of estroblock and will see what happens! If it’s nothing I won’t be surprised as I’m used to that haha, but hopefully no harm done in trying.

I was hesitant about messing with hormones but our toxic environment has already been doing that, and from what I read on estroblock reversing some of that damage should only be a good thing. Anything plausible is worth a try!

Your site is amazing, thank you so much for starting it! I have a few questions. First I have been getting really bad hormonal acne on the sides of my face for months and it wont seem to go away. I’ve been taking vitex for about two weeks and my acne hasn’t cleared at all. I am about to purchase liv-tox, and estroblock to take in addition to the vitex…. but im also about to start taking pure green coffee bean extract to help with my current workout regiment. Is it okay to take all of these products together? And would you recommend that I take the regular strength estroblock? Any other suggestions? Please help. Thank you in advance!

Hi Gemma,
You can definitely take vitex, estroblock and liv-tox together, but I don’t know anything about pure green coffee bean extract, so I can’t say. I don’t see why it’d be a problem, but I don’t know. It seems it’s probably best to start with the regular estroblock and work your way up to triple strength to avoid any possible detox reactions

Hi Tracy,
I’ve heard that its best to get a saliva test prior to beginning estro block to make sure you have a hormonal imbalance. What do you know about this? Can estroblock cause side effects such as an increase in testosterone if there isn’t an imbalance in hormones?

I am unable to get a saliva test, is it still safe to take estroblock without being for certain that I have an imbalance? Thanks

Yes. It is definitely best to get a saliva test. I’m actually doing a lot of research into this hormone stuff right now and getting all the hormones sorted out and how they pertain to acne, and directions on how to get a saliva test (turns out they aren’t as expensive as I thought). I think this is needed. I’m going to write a full ebook about it. Yes, getting tested is always a good idea!

I think in most cases, people have high bad estradiol levels (the bad estrogen), simply due to exposure to xenoestrogens, etc, and will benefit from the excess being detoxed and good estrogen metabolism and levels restored, although if the liver is congested, it might back fire (it seems this is happening to some people) and the hormones get recirculated. Either way, if you work on your liver, and give DIM a try, in most cases it’s going to be fine. I admit, I am optimistic because it worked so well for me and I took a chance on it.

But conceivably, yes, it does have the potential though to make things worse, especially if you have low overall estrogen, which I would say most people don’t, but some would, especially if you are very underweight (as some estrogen is made in fat cells). Or I suppose potentially if you take too much of it for too long?? Either way if your estrogen is already very low and/or your dosage of DIM is too high for too long, I can see how it might cause more testosterone to be freed up in the blood leading to acne. It’s indeed confusing. .. yes, saliva hormone tests are good.

Turns out you can get a full panel of all the hormones for $99 from the Delgado Protocol (you have to call them) and a consultation with it. And they’ll ship overseas too. Or if you want, you can even just test individual hormones for $35 each from this website: http://www.johnleemd.com/store/resource_hormonetest.html … progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone would be the best ones to test. He also has a great little quiz to see what kind of hormone imbalance you might have which would give you an idea without actually taking the saliva test.

Just wanted to give some advice on taking diindolylmethane as a now qualifed nutritionist, woohoo! In order to effectively clear the “bad oestrogen” from the body, a phase two liver support is required such as the Liv-tox supplement. Phase two nutrients include amino acids such as cysteine and methionine, herbal remedies such as milk thistle. And phase three detoxification (as it’s now termed) needs to be supported through bowel clearance. So eating plenty of organic fruits and vegetable with the skin, exercising, pure water, having psyllium husk and slippery elm can aid with this. Using Estroblock alone, ‘ramps’ up phase one which can cause headaches and a re-circulation of toxins into the blood stream, if this is not supported by phase two.

I’ve been on and off your blog for about a year now– when I first developed cystic acne around my chin. I had been using Proactiv and then AcneFree (which is basically a ton of Benzol Peroxide). After reading Fran’s blog and your blog, I decided to switch to natural cures. I tried Manuka Honey (sometimes mixing it with pink crystal sea salt) and for a little bit (maybe a month or two) I thought it was working nicely. I sometimes used apple cider vinegar to tone the skin. Then I started to breakout on my forehead and the cystic acne wasn’t going away, so I switched to the oil cleansing method. For this I was using grape seed oil and maybe sunflower oil (I can’t remember right now, sorry) and this just kept everything regular– but no improvement. Then, I switched to Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Pure Castile Soap ‑ Tea Tree. For a while I thought this was working on my cystic acne but then about three weeks ago I found it felt very tight whenever I washed my face with it, and I continued to struggle with forehead acne which had also spread to my cheeks. Currently I’m using Burt’s Bees 3 step acne regime with willow bark and it’s only been a couple of days now but I haven’t seen much of an improvement. I can feel cysts under the surface and it almost looks like I’m developing some cysts on my forehead.

I use oil free, non-comedogenic coverup and I think it’s physician’s formula mineral powder. I tried buying Dr. Hauschka coverup and powder– which uses natural ingredients to fight acne, but I thought it caused more breakouts and it didn’t feel very smooth on my skin– also, after I bought it, I checked and it wasn’t non-comedogenic.

I also eat healthy– I don’t eat junk food ever. I have yogurts and kefer daily. I use a supplement for women daily.

I am at a loss as to what to do next– I’ll continue with the burt’s bees for a week or so more (I like to give every new product at least two weeks). I’ve been spending a lot of money on things that aren’t working and it’s frustrating. I have a dermatologist appointment scheduled for November 12th. It can’t come soon enough! Even though the last dermatologist I went to was a complete waste of time and money. This new dermatologist delves in holistic and western medicines, so hopefully she has some recommendations.

Anyway, sorry this is so long– and I guess I really have no question– well I am curious about the Estroblock but I’d like to ask my Dr. about whether it’s right for me first. But thanks for sharing all of your ideas. I wish acne was more widely studied– it’s such an individualized problem. That’s what also makes it so hard to find products that will work for me specifically.

Hi Emily,
Unfortunately I can’t say what the best thing topically will be for you, but it does sound like you are switching between skin care too fast and might be kind of “shocking” your skin. Ideally you want to give your skin at least two months to really see if it works for you, and switching between things every two weeks can confuse your skin and result in more breakouts.

However, I’m sure the skin care part is only one part of it and you do need something internal to help. You can try Estroblock, make sure to take it with a liver support supplement like Liv-tox, and eat lots of veggies and fibre.

Hi Tracy! : )
It was about two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. I followed an idiotic protocol of birth control and anti-androgenic spironolactone. The spiro seemed amazing at the time, completely clearing my acne which was fantastic since I work as a model. However, I believe it shifted my hormones to be estrogen dominant and made me gain approximately 15 pounds. (and this resulted in me getting fired from my agency, aahh!)

Also, extremely unfortunately, I am 20 years old and have not had a menstrual cycle in about 5 years. With the help of your blog, I have been on a strict regiment of vitex tincture, a herbal tincture called rejuva-flow (meant to help restart a period – it consists of dong quai, white peony, motherwort, black cohost, and mugwort), triple strength estro block, royal jelly, borage seed oil, zinc, msm sulfur, maca, liv tox, raspberry leaf tea, milk thistle, cod liver oil and applying bio identical progesterone cream every day except for the first 8 days of the month. I also eat almost completely organic, and gluten/casein free. No fluoride. After months of this, I got the *tiniest* sight of a period a few days ago and I was sooooo happy I cried absolute tears of joy! Thank you so much Tracy, I feel like I owe a whole lot to you.

I’m very worried because ever since I started the estroblock it seems that handfuls of my hair have been falling out daily. This terrifies and devastates me, as I get most of my work from my long golden hair. (Believe it or not, I actually get away with having acne as a model. Sometimes at least…) I have never, ever experienced hair loss before.

This is some information I found today —
“Any drop in estrogen levels, as happens after pregnancy, with menopause, or when changing your hormone therapy including birth control pill use, will cause what is called estrogenic alopecia. In contrast to testosterone, estrogen helps scalp hair grow faster and stay on the head longer, resulting in thicker hair. This is the reason women’s hair gets fuller during pregnancy when estrogen levels are quite high, then sheds several weeks after the baby is born.”

This is such a difficult decision. I felt like estroblock could finally be the cure to my acne. I will try minimizing the dosage. In the meantime, I just ordered a raw B vitamin complex (read something about biotin), spearmint leaf tea, and a food supplement for pcos called glucorein. It’s so funny how easily blow $300 a week on my hair and skin, but I am desperate. I also bought a hell of lot of organic argan oil from the recommendation of my friends.

If you have any suggestions, i’d be so happy to hear them! Thank you again.

Hi Michelle!
I am super happy for you that you’re making progress, but wow – that’s a lot of stuff you’re taking! Have you worked with anyone one on one, like a naturopath? Who might be able to give you a more targeted regimen?

Anyway – yes, hormonal changes can indeed cause hairloss – that’s definitely concerning, but I really don’t know if this would just be a temporary side effect from Estroblock and would level out or not. I definitely might consider lowering the dosage, switching to the regular one maybe, taking two to day to start for a while and see if the hairloss resolves itself. And then you can decide to either stop or go back to triple, depending on what happens.

aahhh yes Tracy I switched to the regular for a few days (and started your baking soda regimen, yip yip hooray!!) and my hair has ceased falling out! 🙂

aahh yes, I used to go to a naturopath in NYC, but it was adding up to thousands of dollars (400$ per hour, yikes!) so I only stayed with him for a few months. I’m not with a naturopath right now, but I remember the supplements he put me on and have continued with some of them. My mother really didn’t like that I was working with him because he would have me swallowing handfuls and handfuls of supplements per day. (What I take right now is 1/2 as many as I did with him.) I think i’ve created a more PCOS – focused supplement regimen, he was trying to do too much at once. From curing candida to heavy metal detox supplements, take it easy man!

I just ordered a saliva test so when my results come in I intend on finding a new naturopath. Aproximately how much were you paying for yours if you don’t mind me asking?

Oh that’s great 🙂
$400 an hour, yikes. My naturopath was like… I don’t know. $120 for the initial visit I think, and then a bit more for tests and supplements. It does sound like yours was a little overzealous with the supps and expensive to begin with, which doesn’t equal happiness for your pocketbook

I need more reviews for rejuvaflow. I have had no period since I stopped taking the pill. I would consider rejuvaflow but the only “women” (or fake reviews written by sales people as a selling tactic?) who mention rejuvaflow in detail are posted on the website that sells the product. Please help! {: PLEASE!

Hi Tracy. Please refer to my comments above starting on Oct 2nd. It wouldn’t allow me to add on more comments. I am unable to take EstroBlock due to the horrible side effects (uncontrolable emotions and crying). I did just receive LivTox in the mail but before I take it, I was wondering of all the possible side effects. Also, would it even be beneficial to take LivTox along with the Vitex which I have been taking for 3 months.

No I haven’t. I have the bottle of it that the Delgado protocol sent me to try, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m still not really sure what it does it exactly… when I first got it, they didn’t have much a description on their website. I assumed it was a liver support thing, but their description that is now on their website doesn’t make it really sounds like that. Sooner or later I will get on it and call them and find out how it works exactly.

Anyway – I’m also in the process of doing a saliva hormone test from them, which I’m really excited about. I’m interested in seeing what my hormones actually say before adding something in that I don’t know if I really need right now.

I was thinking it would replace the milk thistle and burdock root tinctures I currently take 3xs per day for liver support…I noticed it does contain tumeric, milk thistle, wasabi, and sunflower which I believe all aid in liver/kidney detox? I read this from their site and it does seem to me like it would replace current liver support products…http://delgadoprotocol.com/products/estroblock-cell-stabilizer.

You’re right it does, so it will help the liver – but in the description it doesn’t focus on anything to do with the liver, it talks about blocking estradiol conversion and the receptor sites. So I wasn’t sure how that works.

Hi Tracy, I know that it is apparently safe to take 1 cap of regular estroblock if you’re pregnant or breast feeding but I’m still unsure. I’m currently on 2 caps of estroblock pro and have been for about 7 months. When I cut down to 1 recently my skin started to flare up a little again so I don’t really want to cut down at all but I want to start trying for a baby soon. Do you think it’s worth taking 1 regular strength tablet a day or just stopping altogether. I guess I’m just wondering what you would do?

Hi Frances, ah, sorry to hear you flared when trying to lower the dose. I’m also currently trying to lower my dose from one triple strength to half a triple strength, and seeing what happens.

Anyway – ah.. I’m not really sure what to say about the pregnancy thing. I don’t know enough about the reason behind why you shouldn’t take more during pregnancy to say whether one is fine or not. I do think one regular strength is probably fine though because it’s probably just like eating a whole lot of cruciferous vegetables. I would call them if I were you though and ask them to clarify the exact reason as to their recommendations of one only and why is one okay and more aren’t… that’s what I would do if it were me. I think the reason it isn’t recommended while pregnant is simply because they haven’t done any studies on pregnant women to know if it’s safe or if it isn’t.

I ordered one regular and one triple ..for the first time, i dont know why i ordered this way. Anyway, i live in europe, the pack is coming about 2-3 weeks. Next time i can order is when i get money- payday :)…all together it takes about a month to get those new pills. I wanted to ask, can i take one triple in the morning and one regular in the evening, so it would last longer? Thanks for answering!

Hei again! U have heard that question definitely many many times, but how long time it took to see any kind of change? i read it took 2 weeks, but before tha…there was no changes and after 2w you suddenly saw some difference?? I am on my 4th day and i cant understand much anything. i have tiny pimples all over my face, lots of blackheads and few cystic pimples a week before my period. And i quit BCP in may 2013..after that my face is covered with tiny pimples and its not smooth at all :/ i just hope its working!

Hi Flower, sorry to hear! I don’t think it should affect the Estroblock, but just make sure that you are taking good, strong probiotics during (just not at the exact same time of day) and after your course of antibiotics. This should help negate any negative effects from the antibiotics

I got a hormone test a little while ago, my test showed I had high estrogen and high testosterone. I really wanna give this product a try but i’m a little hesitant on weather this will increase my testosterone??

Hi Tay,
From my understanding – it might increase your good testosterone a little bit (the kind that’s responsible for sex drive), but by balancing your good to bad estrogens, this prevents testosterone from turning into DHT, which is the potent form of testosterone responsible for acne. Plus, I found this study that suggests that DIM might competitively compete with DHT for receptors, meaning that DIM kind of blocks DHT. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12665522 – I think this supplement would probably help you a lot. Make sure you take other liver support with it though: https://thelovevitamin.com/12578/problems-estroblock-dim-acne/

Anyway…I haven’t had much of a history with acne until recently, which was confusing because I’m 20. I’ve done a ton of research in the past few months that I’ve been dealing with this and have tried everything. I’ve tried antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, etc, etc. It all worked a little bit, but nothing has cleared me up at all. This has caused me to come to the conclusion that I’m dealing with hormonal acne more and not cosmetic, bacteria, or other common cause. I was excited to find this because I want to stop using all the harsh chemicals, which really dry out my skin, and just use a gentle cleanser but also eliminate my acne.

I have been on hormonal birth control for several years now because of endometriosis, so my main concern is that Estroblock might decrease the effectiveness of my birth control. The website says it doesn’t, but I’m still really worried about it. I’m sure Estroblock will work for me, but I just wanted to research it a little bit more and this was my main concern. That being said, do you know/have you heard if it will decrease the effectiveness?

Hi Jill 🙂
Yes definitely understand your concern, birth control effectiveness isn’t something you want to mess around with. From my understanding, it doesn’t interact with BCPs. Of course, I’m not a scientist so I can’t 100% definitely guarantee or anything. But the fact that the makers of Estroblock (and the makers of plenty of other DIM products) say it’s fine on birth control and even recommended to take it on birth control… well, they must be very sure about that, otherwise they’d be in deep trouble.

Hi I just bought estro block triple strength on line after reading all the info you posted about it, I get hormonal acne and it is usually one or two big red cysts that pop up in the same place on my face.

My question is, I have been having some headaches and a bit of nausea…could this be from the tablets? I take flaxseed oil and that’s about it as far as supplements go. Do I need to be looking for a supplement to take as well? Or should I stop taking the estro block.

Dear Tracy,
Do you know if there is any discount on the estroblock ? I thought there would be something for Black Friday 🙂

Thx for your help and wonderful site. I have stopped makeup and soap on my face. It felt odd to begin with, but totally cool now 🙂 I kit want to add estroblock to my regimen. I will use it with liv-52 (shud be similar to liv-tox?) I wish there was some discount available though 🙂

Hi Esha, no I don’t know of any discounts. They used to do discounts on it on all the major holidays when I first started taking it, so I’d always wait till then to order it, but unfortunately they stopped doing it!

I left a post a couple months back when i was going to start Estroblock. So i have been on it for about 7 weeks now, I was taking 3 a day of the regular, then that bottle finished so I thought I’d ramp it up going on the Pro. My skin has broken out really bad with big cysts on my chin and neck. I have read all the comments above and have seen quite a few people have broken out quite bad, but I don’t see any updates to say if the estroblock has now taken effect for those people. So – question 1 – Do you know if anyone who got the initial bad breakouts has now managed to clear their skin with the Estroblock? Question 2 – Do you think it might be because I am taking the Estroblock alone, without any of the livtox, milk thistle etc that you mention?? What should I take?
Appreciate your help, desperate to know if this will eventually work for me :o(

Hi Ann, how was your skin before going to the pro? Was it improving at all, or just staying the same? It could be a detox but I can’t say for sure. I definitely would advise taking a liver support with it, I do like Liv-tox because that’s what I use 🙂

My skin was just so-so on the normal estroblock, didnt see a big difference after 1 bottle hence why I ordered the Pro. My skin is now absolutely terrible, worst for years. I am persevering though. I actually ramped up the pro to sometimes 3 a day, perhaps this is the problem? Do you think I should maybe go down to 1, if so, would you take it morning or night? Or should I take 2?
I have not bee taking anything to support my liver, so have just ordered Liv-tox. REALLY hoping this clears it up. Honestly am so down about it, its just shocking, currently have about 12 massive red spots on my chin. Hideous :o(

Tracy. I don’t know how to thank you. I owe this to you. Your article helped me in clearing those painful cysts around my jaw . They just refused to go for past 5 years. I have been taking Estroblock for 3 months now and the acne has vanished. I still have those red spots all over but no signs of the painful cysts. God bless you.

Hi Tracy, I’m taking Estroblock for about a week now, and suddenly my skin has become worse. Many cysts are forming around my jaw line (where my acne is the worst) and some smaller ones on the forehead. They’re all very painful and HUGE, one is a big as a lemon’s tip. I’m taking the normal Estroblock, 3 per day. I don’t know if I should continue taking it or not, cause every acne leaves bad scar and terible brown/purple marks on my skin. I’m really worrie and frustrated, I’ve had hormonal acne for nearly 10 years and I thought Estroblock would be my last hope. Do you have any advice? Thank you~

I read your articles and I am very interested in all of your remedies. I have been dealing with hormonal acne for about the past 5 yrs, on a off, the last year becoming more consistent. I want to try what you suggest, however, I am still on birth control and not ready to come off. What can I do / take if I am going to remain on birth control?

Hi Stacie, you can take DIM (estroblock). The liver support (milk thistle, etc) you could probably take… apparently there is some question about whether it could lower effectiveness of birth control pills, but I think it’s simply because it acts on the liver and the birth control pill is absorbed through it, so if you took at it a different time of day there wouldn’t be a problem. You better research that first though. You shouldn’t take vitex. Burdock root… not sure about that one.

First off, I want to thank you for your articles! I got off bcp about a year and a half ago. A couple months after that, the acne got out of control. I started taking evening primrose oil and fish oil , and that seemed to work great for about 6 months. After that, the acne got really bad again. Really big and painful zits, and quite a few at a time. Then I found your website. I ordered regular Estroblock and have been taking two a day for almost two weeks now. The results were almost immediate. The hormonal acne I had started clearing up , and any new ones that come are smaller and go away quickly. It’s awesome to see. My questions are regarding the side effects I’m experiencing. I’m noticing my urine color is now a dark orange color, which is a little concerning. Also I’m experiencing pretty continuous spotting. My period hasn’t really been regular since coming off the pill. I’ll get it for a week and then see it for a couple months, or I’ll just get it for a couple days on random weeks. So it’s not like the spotting is highly unusual, but I’m wondering if it’s related to the Estroblock. I’m not currently taking any liver supplements, though I regularly take a multivitamin, vitamin C, and fish oil. Do you think milk thistle might help my side effects? I’m not currently experiencing any moodiness or headaches. Or do you think maybe I should go down to taking just one pill a day and maybe that might help? Please let me know! Thanks 🙂

Hi Tracy, I’ve been taking Estroblock for over three months now and I have seen a great improvement in my skin. I also did your candida cleanse which helped to clear my skin even further. But, this month I am still waiting for my normally regular period to come. It’s about two weeks late and I’m not pregnant. At first, I went through two bottles of regular Estroblock (three pills per day) now I’m taking Pro strength twice a day. Just yesterday I dropped down to one pill of pro strength per day. The only thing I can attribute my missing period to is Estroblock. Any ideas why this might be? Do you think I should I stop taking it all together?

Hi Kristen,
If you think it’s definitely the Estroblock try dropping down again… I don’t know for sure, but I am kind of thinking that maybe taking high doses for too long for some people could potentially speed estrogen metobolism up so much that it could end up dropping estrogen levels a little too low. So it might be good to take high doses at first to get everything balanced and then wean yourself down to a maintenance dose. I’ve decided to go down to 1/2 the triple strength per day as a maintenance (separating the pills into two separate capsules)

I am currently taking Nature’s Way DIM supplement and it is has almost been a month now. I haven’t really noticed any big changes yet, but I am still giving it a chance. What I was wondering is whether you have experienced any weight loss on DIM? My family started noticing that I got reaaaally skinny, and I mean my normal weight is 50 kg, which means that loosing more weight ain’t good at all. So I wondering if it is due to DIM. What are your thoughts?

Hi Jen, I haven’t personally encountered any weight loss on it, but toxic estrogens can dictate where fat deposits on your body (often on the stomach), so it’s supposed to help you lose that kind of fat. So, yes it could be the DIM. If you don’t want to stop using it, I’d recommend some strength training to put the weight back on as lean muscle

Hi! I have been taking Estroblock for about a month now, my forehead has improved A Lot since starting with it , but i still got a few pimples week before my period, like i use to get..maybe not so much as before, but still.. And I have still some tiny…i dont know..blackheads or aomething on my cheeks, what doesnt want to go away. Skin isnt very smooth yet.. Am I impatient? Tomorrow i will visit the cosmetologist, where she use a paraffin wax method to open the pores and then shes gonna do a mechanical cleaning. After that i know it will be smoother. But is it a good idea? I afraid,that i cant get rid of them in other way. But i read the article about picking… Hopefully Estroblock helps me and improve my skin even more and my skin will be smooth and lovely 🙂 And Thank You for this website, It has helped me a lot!

Hi there,
Well I can’t guarantee that it is definitely going to work for you, or work for you completely. But for me, I didn’t notice the biggest difference till two months in. So maybe just impatience 🙂 For me, unclogging my pores… i used a bit of a jojoba oil to mechanically open them up and then the estroblock kept it smooth for me ever since. So… yeah… It’s not a bad idea to go see the cosmetologist for some manual opening

I have a question about the smell of Estroblock (Triple Strength) capsules. I got my Estroblock and it has a kind of really really strong, rancid smell! I can actually smell it throughout the box. Is that normal? I keep it in the room. Just been wondering whether it is outdated…or what? How is it supposed to smell? Any answers appreciated !

Hi Egle,
Weird. It does have a distinct smell.. kind of a weird… earthy smell, I guess. But I can only smell it if I put my nose up to the uncapped bottle. So, I don’t know. Do you have an unnaturally sensitive nose in general? If no, then I might be concerned

Anyway, I’ve been using Estroblock Triple Strength for two weeks now, taking two capsules a day (one in the morning and one in the evening). I’ve been suffering with mild/moderate but persistent acne mainly on chin/mouth/ areas since I was a teenager. At the moment I am 22. My acne never went away no matter what natural topical remedies I tried (Manuka honey, oil cleansing method, etc). To be honest, since started taking Estroblock, my acne has improved greatly. It is a nice surprise to me as nothing else seemed to be working. So I assume that the nature of my acne is to a great extent hormonal. During my first two days on Estroblock I broke out quiet badly (on the sides of my forehead!). But it went away after a few days.
I am not completely acne free, but I am no longer getting painful pimples on my chin/mouth areas I used to get CONSTANTLY before taking Estroblock. Even if I get a pimple here and there, it is nothing to compare to what it used to look like. Now it is much smaller, and heals very fast. So I think Estroblock does work! Even though it has only been two weeks I am taking it, I can tell the difference already. My skin looks different and feels different.

I am also using an oil cleansing method (has recently switched from jojoba oil to sunflower oil),taking vitamin D and Zinc. I am not taking any liver support supplements. I’ll keep you updated. Good luck to everyone on Estroblock!

By the way, thank you, Tracy, for this amazing website. It has been of much interest and help! Carry on! 🙂

I’m a 17 year old girl and I’ve had mild acne since I was 11 or so. I’m as positive as can be that it’s hormonal. I just ordered estroblock pro triple strength, and I was wondering how much I should be taking? I don’t want to overdo it (I’ve read about people who took 2-3 pills of it from the start and broke out even more) but I would like it to be effective. The bottle reccomends one pill twice a day, but maybe I should start off with just one per day? Or is that too little? Some people wrote that they took 3-4 a day and got rid of their acne in less than two weeks… now I’m not sure if I believe this, but such amazing results in that amount of time is very drawing, even if the bottle would run out very fast.

Thank you!
And I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your youtube videos for, I don’t even know, two or three years now? They’re great and I always look forward to them 🙂

Hi Virag,
Yes I would recommend starting with a lower dose first and working your way up to 2 or so of the triple strength per day over the course of a few weeks to avoid any detox reactions. You can try high doses right off the bat if you want, but it may backfire! I’d also recommend taking liver support herbs with it. Have you read this new article of mine about it? https://thelovevitamin.com/12578/problems-estroblock-dim-acne/

Thanks for the fast reply!
My estroblock hasn’t come yet (it should be here by the 24th at latest, though), but following your advice, I went ahead and bought myself some milk thistle for liver support. I’m assuming that with milk thistle as well, I should start slow and gradually increase my intake? Or with it is it OK to take more (two a day or so) from the beginning?
Thank you!

I’ve been taking estroblock pro along with milk thistle twice a day now for 5 days, and I’ve noticed that my urine in the morning is a very dark orange color (previously it’s always been just a medium to dark yellow). I exercise/eat/drink about the same as I always have, so I’m thinking that either the estroblock or the milk thistle is causing this. Is this normal? In biology last year my teacher was talking about dark orange urine in the morning, so at least I know it happens to other people as well.

So I’ve been using estroblock pro and milk thistle (200mg), one of each twice daily, for nearly 3 months now. About a month ago I added burdock root (500mg) also one capsule twice a day.

My acne is… amazingly better. I am far from perfect skin, but oh my goodness, it’s not even noticeable in dim light, from several feet away, and even close up is much better (way less strong and frequent breakouts as well!) In short, this really is a dream.

About a week ago I dropped down to one estroblock per day… I am honestly just trying to save a little money here. Maybe I should try and increase my dosage to 3 estriblock per day, but that would be $135 for two months, not counting the other two supplements. Do you have any suggestions?

Also, I read that milk thistle can mimick the effects of estrogen… eeek! Isn’t that exactly what we’re trying to get rid of? Yet milk thistle is good for the liver…

In short, should I increase estroblock, get rid of milk thistle, and maybe increase burdock root?

Hi Virag,
Stoked for you that you’ve seen such improvement! Way to go 🙂 – with Estroblock… well, I would say ramp up your dose to see if it helps, and then try dropping down your dosage after six months to a year (which will save you money)… that’s what I did, I take a lower dosage now and it’s fine. As for milk thistle, I think that it is a very weak estrogen, not enough to be a problem. there are tons of weak estrogenic foods that you probably eat, and for most people aren’t a big deal to consume. Some people run into trouble when eating a ton of foods like soy and flax, but those are significantly stronger than all the other phytoestrogens.

Chiming in, since I’ve done a bit of reading on milk thistle & its estrogenic effects — supposedly, milk thistle plant extract may have estrogenic effects, but milk thistle SEED extract doesn’t, and that’s most likely what you’d be getting in, say, a supplement, since the seed extract is more commonly used. More info here: http://ww5.komen.org/breastcancer/milkthistle.html
Hope that helps!

Hello! Have you ever heard of “Estrosense”? It’s sold at my local health food store, so easier to purchase than ordering Estroblock online.. Is it equal to Estroblock in intended use, outcome, and general quality? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

@mikayla honestly the other estrogen blocking supplements do not work like estroblock. I’ve used estrosense which now I think is a knock off of Lorna v’s estrosmart and neither will likely produce the noticeable effects of estroblock. There just isn’t enough DIM. I live in Canada and don’t have any problems getting the product

Do you have any opinions on seed cycling for hormonal balancing? I have been thinking of trying it. Estroblock has not helped over 3 months in. I am thinking of cutting back on the Estroblock and starting the seeds.

Hi Nic,
Unfortunately I don’t know a lot of specific details about endometriosis, but I believe it’s often caused by much of the same thing as acne and other hormonal symptoms .. like too much bad estrogens. I do think estroblock and liv-tox would probably help. Also check out Mel Turner’s blog for help: http://www.cureendometriosis.com

Hi Corey,
estroblock can balance your estrogen levels. High testosterone levels are our body’s reaction to the high levels of estrogens circulating in our blood stream. So, indirectly, estroblock can help to balance out testosterone levels as well. Tracy explains that somewhere on her blog… It was in one of her estroblock articles, but I can’t remember if it was in the comments or in the article itself…

I’ve been off the Estroblock for around two weeks, cause I ran out of it, and my acne has come back. Unfortunately… While I was on it, my skin looked better. I placed a new order.. I hope I won’t have to be on it for ever. Has anyone come off of it with a success? Thanks!

Just a comment on the Estroblock associate link to Amazon – Tracy may want to switch it to Estroblock Pro. I didn’t realise I was buying the lower strength until I went to place my second order and saw that there were two different lines (Which I should have realized from the post, but I didn’t make the link at checkout on Amazon).

Hi. I am 37 years old and have been taking vitex, because my estrogen is very high, for about 5 months now. I feel like, since then, my face has started showing more signs of aging. Could this be due to my estrogen being lowered? When women go thru menopause their estrogen decreases, resulting in aging. I would much rather deal with the side-effects of too high estrogen than aging already.

Ive been following your blog for awhile now, thank you for all the awesome info! On your recommendation I have been taking fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil for 6 months and love it. I am still suffering from mostly hormonal acne however, so decided to try Estroblock. I have been using for 2 months, and feel like my acne is getting worse. I take 3 a day of the regular strength. I used to only break from ovulation until my period, now i find that i am breaking out all month. Does it get worse before it gets better? Should i stick with taking the three a day?

Hi Cat, it seems like Estroblock doesn’t work for everybody, and it may be because of a congested liver in many cases. Check out this article for more explanation: https://thelovevitamin.com/12578/problems-estroblock-dim-acne/
– either way if you feel like it’s not working and making things worse, don’t feel like you have to continue it.

Dear Tracy, I started a humaworm programme a couple of days ago. I’m also en estroblock which seems to put hormonal acne under a control. I was just wondering if it is Ok to combine humaworm and estroblock? Could humaworm affect the effectiveness of estroblock? Thanks! Appreciated.

Last week I started taking supplements (burdock root, milk thistle, Omega 3 fish oil, multivitamin and EstroSmart – which is Canadian). I have suffered acne on my chin for over 15 years and I am now thinking it is hormonal as topical creams do not get rid of it. I have also been on Accutane and tetracycline. My question to you is in EstroSmart there is only 50 mg of DIM per 2 capsules. The recommended dose is only 2 capsules per day. I have read that you should get at least 100 mg of DIM per day to see results. Do you think I can take EstroSmart and then take a supplement such as DIM-Plus by Nature’s Way which contains 3,3′-Diindolylmethane* (from 50 mg DIM™ complex) 12.5mg. So does that mean I would need to take 4 capsules of DIM-Plus as well as 2 capsules of EstroSmart to get a daily total of 100 mg of DIM? What do you think? I am up to try anything as I am desperate to control my acne on my chin and mouth area. Any other supplements I should be taking?

Hi Amanda, yes for many people in the beginning they need a higher dose of DIM in order to see the benefit (later you can reduce the dose). You can definitely add more in… maybe work up to that amount slowly though

Hi Tracy!! I just love your site, I’ve been following all of your advice for months and I sincerely appreciate you sharing your wisdom. I’ve had a problem with breakouts on my chin for the last few years… I’ve tried everything under the sun, natural and not so natural. My doctor convinced me to go on birth control (due to heavy menstruation, pcos symptoms, serious relationship). I finally gave in and started taking ortho tricyclin lo two months ago. My skin seems to be worse (now on my cheeks and forehead too, yay!) and I’m gaining weight around my upper thighs and midsection- stretch marks and all. I must say that my actual cycle is much better. I’ve tried estroblock before for a couple of months and I noticed I dropped a couple pounds but no real change in my skin. I still have 3 bottles left over and I was wondering if you think I should give it another try? I read on their website that it will not interfere with the birth control but it may help speed things along. I know you’re not my doctor but you’ve helped me so much and I would just love your opinion. Stopping the birth control right now isn’t an option in my mind but hopefully over time I can be balanced and pill free. Thanks again, Tracy.

I’m a male who suffers from cystic acne. Have you received any feedback yet on men’s experience using estroblock pro? I’m curious to know a). if it’s safe for men’s use, and b). what the experience has been like for any men who have given this a shot.

I’m not sure if someone asked about taking Estroblock and the pill together …if it has any negative effect. I just don’t want to get preggers while I on it..but in the same time I want to get rid of my cystic acne. What’s the best solution? Thank you.

Thank you! I stopped taking birth control 6 months ago and my back has broken out so badly and along my jawline and neck. I’m desperately trying to clear it up before summer for sure! I ordered some today. I hope it works!

Tracy, I am new to all of this but have terrible hormonal acne around my chin area. I ordered the triple strength of Estroblock but didn’t know what else I should be taking. How much of the Estroblock should I start with?

I was hoping someone might have some advice/input on what to try next.

My medical history: I have PCOS/Bipolar Disorder II (very mild)/ADHD. I am on a very strict PCOS diet that includes only all natural/organic foods. I had to have an emergency hysterectomy when I was 30 (just turned 34) due to a hemorrhage that they couldn’t stop. They took everything except my ovaries (kind of ironic since I was diagnosed with PCOS the following year, might have been better to take those too!).

I was taking Spironolactone for years for acne (well before I found out about my PCOS, but finally decided it was time to ditch most of my cocktail of daily Rx meds and try the natural route. My acne seemed to have mostly cleared thanks to my diet change anyway. Once off the Spiro I had a mild flare up that was completely cured for about 6 months by using Jojoba oil each night.

Unfortunately my acne has come back with a vengeance, along with a new nasty – Candida. This happened after relenting and taking amoxicillin for a recurring sinus/respiratory infection that came back every 2 months or so for the last year. I think this was triggered due to an allergic reaction to something in our house following a house fire, Dr dismissed that theory. The Amox was a BIG mistake. I got horrible thrush and now have Candida running rampant throughout my whole body. This is when my acne came back full force. So I am not sure if it was the antibiotics, stress, or compromised immune system from the recurring sinus infections…or a combo of all.

TMI alert – I now have pimples that are small (not the huge cystic nasties that I used to get), that seem to rupture almost immediately (at least I don’t notice when they do), and get scabby right from the start. They are mostly on my chin, back of my neck, and oddly…on my head. The ones on my scalp, despite being unseen, are really gross. Rather than getting scabby right away, they are the pustule kind and are very itchy and often rupture when brushing my hair – GROSS! The Jojoba oil is helping to heal the scabby ones on my chin/neck fairly quickly, but more keep popping up.

So now I am hoping for some advice for how to get my body/hormones under control. I am currently taking (and what it treats):

I started taking Candida High Potency 9 by Aqua Flora (liquid) 2x/day and it has helped a little but the thrush hasn’t fully cleared.

Based on this article, EstroBlock Pro looks promising, but I was a little worried that it boosted T levels…a big no-no with PCOS.

Right now my biggest concerns are the Candida(thrush/fatigue) and acne. Also I have gained a few pounds but haven’t altered my diet/exercise, but that could be stress too. It is not huge, only 4 lbs. I can feel every additional lb though after working so hard to lose most of my extra PCOS weight. 🙁 I would love to find an “overall” supplement that can replace some of the above so I don’t have to swallow 15+ vitamins a day, but am grudgingly willing to add even more if they will help.

Any input from someone with a similar personal experience or extensive knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated!!! My brother-in-law is getting married in 2 months and there will be family pictures…I am afraid I will have to fake a stomach flu (vain I know!) if I cannot get my body under control. Help!!!

Hi Jaelyn,
It sounds to me like if your acne came back full force at the same time as you “caught” candida, then you should concentrate all your efforts on treating that… it sounds like you were doing okay prior to this happening? I don’t know if I see in your list… you need to use an antifungal and also strong probiotics at the same time to address candida (take them at different times of day though) Estroblock too might be of help… people will react differently to it, but I believe it raises good testosterone, not the kind responsible for PCOS symptoms… many people with PCOS have a lot of success with it. Also it does indeed sound like it would help your husband if you could convince him to take it! hah

On a different note…I was wondering if this EstroBlock (or something else?) might be helpful to my hubby.

He has low T levels and tried an Rx Testosterone but it was awful…and worse no matter how careful, it rubbed off on me giving me awful acne and migraines.

Then he tried a few all natural T supplements. None worked. The reason he got his T levels checked out is because despite being naturally thin, he started gaining “girly” weight – around the hips (lovehandles) and chest (gynomastia). He also started gaining belly weight (beer belly/preggo belly).

We are at a loss as to the cause of the weight gain because he eats healthy – switched to my all natural diet with me – and exercises regularly. He walks at least a mile every day, uses the Treadclimber a few times a week, swims regularly, and engages in other recreational exercise throughout the week.

Along with the weight gain, he started becoming more and more fatigued despite detting enough sleep (though along with the weight gain, he started snoring so that might be impacting his sleep – it is definitely impacting mine!!!). He also started getting acne breakouts: mild regular small pimples on his face, occasionally huge cystic acne on the chin/forehead, and really bad pustule pimples on his upper legs, along with more scattered/mild ones on his back, buttocks, and scalp.

Though he would never admit it, I know with weight gain/acne has made him really self conscious. He is a bit more snippy/tense when before he has always been very easy going and relaxed. All of this started before our house fire so it isn’t stress induced, but I am sure that the stress isn’t helping things.

Would EstroBlock help him? I am not sure I can convince him to take something that sounds like it is for females (with Estrogen in the name), but if it would help it would be worth the effort.

Hey Tracy I wqs just wondering if estroblock will cause you to breakout at first? I’ve been eating healthy for years so I feel like the i shouldn’t have a bad detox. Ahiuld you start with one pill a day and gradually increase it?

Hi Kimberly, there’s definitely no guarantee Estroblock would make you break out at first. It didn’t make me break out at first. And yes if you want to definitely ensure that you don’t have initial symptoms, then it’s best to start low and work your way up to a higher dose.

Hi Tracy!
Estroblock sounds amazing, and I’m definitely interested in trying it since I’ve been battling mild to moderate (yet unbelievably stubborn!) acne for the past four years. I recently got on the birth control pill (been on it for six months now) and the results have overall been minimal. Yes, it has helped, but not to the extent I would like. Now I would like to get off the pill entirely and just start with Estroblock, but I’m terrified of having my acne return with a vengeance. I would really prefer not to wean off the pill since Estroblock sounds like a pretty good alternative, so do you think it would be ok to stop the pill at once and just start Estroblock?
Also — I’m 18 years old. My age could be a factor, but it worries me when I see the acne of my fellow peers finally go away when I’m still battling with stubborn breakouts around my chin.
Thanks so much for writing this!

Hi Sam! I understand your fear! I think it’s fine to quit the pill, and Estroblock is great, but I can’t guarantee that quitting the pill cold turkey won’t have any effects or that Estroblock will definitely take care of it. Unfortunately I don’t know what your body is going to do. However, Estroblock, Vitex, and a liver supplement can all significantly help after quitting the pill and I would hope they would take care of it for you!

Hi Tracy-
I am a 41 yr old woman who has been battling mild/moderate acne for over 20 years. Of those 20 years the last 10 yrs have been the hormonal cystic acne that that started on my jawline but is now migrating up to my forehead. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. You name it, I’ve tried it. Including regular visits to dermatologists. I’ve consumed large amounts of antibiotics and rubbed terribly expensive lotions and creams on my face. It’s the same old story. Some worked briefly, but my acne always returned. Usually worse than it had been before. I just started Estroblock Pro Triple Strength a few weeks ago. I have not noticed any difference yet and my acne seems to be a bit worse at the moment, but I know it is way too early to be formulating any opinions. I am, of course, skeptical that this will be yet another let down just as all the others have been…My question is…when I started the Estroblock Pro (2 per day) I broke out in a rash on my forearms and legs and had a fierce headache. I stopped taking the Estroblock for a day and the rash went away as did the headache. I backed the dosage down to 1 per day now and have not had any side effects since. Is there something else I should be doing to help my body prepare for a larger dose as my intent is to take 2 per day in hopes of getting better and quicker results. I am fed up with acne running life and wrecking my self esteem. I dream of the day when I can look people in the eye rather than lowering my head so they don’t get a full view of my face. Any other advice you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you for listening Tracy.

Hi D T! Sorry to hear about your ongoing struggles with acne, my heart is certainly with you! My only suggestion aside from leveling up (like you’re doing) is to also take a liver support supplement like the Thorne SAT one (check the “things I like” page at the top for a link). Good luck! x

I’ve been wanting to try this supplement for the longest time, but when i see the that it says, boosts your testosterone, that concerns me? Does this supplement balance your hormones? Or will it increase my testosterone. I checked my hormone levels and my testosterone i just fine for a women, and would hate for it to increase. I am looking for something to balance out my estrogen, as I have too much estrogen.

In my life I have experienced many diseases, I never thought that my hormones have changed the life of your capsules I am now 2 months and significant progress has been observed, acne disappeared almost everything hormones are slowing thank you 🙂 I love this product

First & foremost, sorry for my english, I’m french so I’ll try my best to write correctly =))

I decided to order a bottle of Estroblock triple strength and started taking 2 pills during lunch and dinner for about 4 days ago now. I’m 23 and I’ve had acne for such a long time, I don’t even remember what my face looked like when it was all clear. I also have body acne (back and chest).
Since I’ve started taking these pills, I noticed that I have new spots, in places I never had before (for example, btw my nose and my lips). Plus, I can feel them, they kinda hurt….

Do you think that’s normal? Is it a part of the detox process? Or do I need to stop or lower the daily doses?

Thanks so much in advance for your help. Just so you know, you actually inspired me to go all natural. It is not easy but I know it will all be worth it soon.

Hi Roze, new spots that are different or in a different location than your usual spots is a definite sign of detox. If you want to avoid that, you can drop down your dose and work up to the full dose slowly to get your body used to it

Hi I’m 30 years old and have had acne all my life. I’ve been loyal to many products nothing works the only thing that has helped me a bit was plant based omegas with flaxseed capsules. So I realized that it must be internal because externally nothing has worked. I’m scared and nervous about taking estroblock. Will it make me have anxiety attacks and get hormonal in a bad way? Thanks your input is greatly appreciated. Have a nie day 🙂

I wanted to ask this question because I don’t see anything about it on your website: What regime do you (or others who have tried this) recommend to prevent cystic acne when going off of birth control?

After being on birth control for over 10 years to control my acne, I went cold turkey about two years ago. My hormones staged a serious mutiny and I got terrible cystic acne. After spending hundreds of dollars on chemical peels and cortisone injections and wasting hours of my life at various dermatologist offices, EstroBlock has been my dream come true!

Here’s my dilemma, though. My husband and I want to start a family. I am super anxious just thinking about how my skin will react when I go off birth control, let alone if/when I get pregnant. Any suggestions on what I should take after going off BC but before getting pregnant? I know I’ll have to suffer through uglyface syndrome during pregnancy, but what has worked for others in the interim? Also would love to hear what topical creams or ointments any fellow Moms have used during pregnancy!

Oh… in that case, I really don’t know if there is anything you can do in particular… except keep taking your supplements… try vitex too when you go off it as that is known to help with post-pill breakouts… eat well, exercise, look after yourself as much as possible! Good luck, you’re going to be fine 🙂

I started using Estoblock a few weeks ago, I already used up one full bottle, I started using the second one last week.

Unfortunately, since I started taking the pills, I haven’t seen any improvement on my acne. It actually got worse at first on the chin, the neck, the chest and the top of my back. I first came up with the conclusion that it was because of the detox process going on. Unfortunately, I still am waiting to see improvements.

Do you think it will get better? I ordered a third bottle, because I really want this to work and I’ve read so many good reviews.

Love your new blog. I just have one quick question, Do you know any other brands similar to Estroblock that work just as well?? Estroblock contains rice flour and i’m sensitive towards rice. (food sensitivity).

Hi Stef, thank you 🙂 There’s one called… what’s it called… Estroguard. Although I don’t know if it has rice in it. And there’s also a DIM supplement that my naturopath prescribed a long time ago that was called Integrative Therapeutics Tyler Indolplex, which I think was quite good. There’s a ton of different DIM supplements but I can’t really say if anything them are any good, but those two stick out in my mind

I have learned a lot from your published articles and video clips on acne.
Thanks for all the info and support you lend to all of us suffering with that very painful word. ACNE. I have read conflicting reports and on this very feed, at least one person warns that Estroblock is very hard on the liver. Do you have a definitive answer. Good of Bad for the trusted liver?

Hi tracy. I have been using tips from your blog and i love it a lot. I have hormonal acne that started flaring up after highschool. (i just turned 19) i was wondering. Isnt hormonal acne caused by testosterone sensitivity/overproduction. would estroblock help with balancing hormones in all senses, or would it increase testosterone. because their website mentioned something about is utilizing the effectiveness of ones own testosterone. just wondering thanks! (also jojoba oil and tea tree oil has worked wonders for helping prevent cystic breakouts in me, thanks tracy!)

I really wanted to know if before Estroblock you ever experienced IBS like symptoms, bloating, water retention, flatulence, PMS etc. and, if so, did the supplement help with that? Because I have IBS and hypothyroid/adrenal issues so I’m hoping it’ll help with that. Though, I’m worried that since it coverts the phytoestrogens to good Estrogen it may increase the water retention and bloating, PMS. I am hoping that Estroblock will also naturally reduce the testosterone (which is probably high to compensate for the estrogen dominance). With estrogen dominance estrogen is already too high so I’m not sure how increasing it can be good. But, again, maybe by completely removing the phytoestrogens it will regulate the estrogen in the process. A bit confused! But very excited to try. Placed the order already. Also, do you think it’s best to take liver detox supplements for life? i think we should alternate between liver detox and liver support/rejuvenation. Sorry about all the questions. I hope you will answer. Really appreciate it! Lolo. X

I just turned 18, and I’ve been taking estroblock pro for 10 months now, along with burdock root and milk thistle. It has made my skin so much better than it used to be. However, it never completely cleared up. I have there annoying little skin-toned bumps all along my forehead, temples, jawbone, and both area, with some breakouts around my mouth. It’s not terrible, but I am getting really tired of it, and though I know I should be past it, it really shatters my confidence.

Some of my friends who have impeccable skin are on a birth control pill. Now I know… all the added hormones in your body, it is not a natural way to deal with acne. And especially for people who are acne-prone, once you get off the pill, your acne may come back worse than ever before, right? Also, whatever I’ve read about the pill says that it adds estrogen to the body, which seems to be the opposite of what estroblock does?

I’m honestly considering going on the pill because estroblock is not fully working for me. I am a little nervous though. Will the pill be bad for my body? Will I get horrible acne if I come off it?
What do you think? Please, I’m getting a little desperate.

Thank you for taking the time to get all of this information out Tracy, Its embarrassing to feel so impaired by your acne. Sometimes I feel it makes me vain. I just want to live and not be so self conscious.
I was on the IUD for one year and it TORE my skin up with non stop cystc acne. It was very hard to deal with. I then started the pill (microgestin). I have been on the pill for about two years. It helped my skin alot. i was no longer breaking out every single day with cystic acne around my mouth and chin. I still get the occasional pimple, even a cystic one once a month or so but nothing like i was dealing with while on the IUD.
I do want to come off of the birth control though. Although i thank it for giving me some skin relief i have many other negative side effects, (weight gain, water retention, hair thinning, fatigue, loss of sex drive) I really want to know my real adult body.
I’ve read everything about estroblock that i could find and am ready to try it thanks in large part to you. My question is, how should i start? I want to just stop my bc pill and switch it for estroblock. Do you suggest that? Should I start the estroblock and wean off bc pill? Does it matter? Should I start with regular or pro? If anyone has any advice please let me know. Thank you! I plan on documenting my journey on youtube from the day I start estroblock. Hoping it works!

Hi Sonya, you can find a version of the Delgado protocol on Amazon that ships to Canada, you just have to hunt around for it a bit… on the right site, go ‘see more sellers’. Shipping is only about $10. You can also get it on Amazon.ca now, apparently, although I think it’s more expensive overall, but would ship to you faster. Estrosmart has the main ingredient as I3C, not DIM, and there’s some safety concerns about I3C, the only reason I’m hesitant to recommend Estrosmart or Estrosense

Sooo, I was really excited to purchase this product, I read a little here and there and bought the pro formula. After I got it I started taking one a day and four days, later I read your supposed to start slow. OOPS! so I immediately stopped taking it and bought regular strength. I took two yesterday and I cant move today, my head is in so much pain I can’t even think it hurts so bad. So I’m guessing I am VERY sensitive to this and will have to take one every three days and go from there. I also started taking thorne SAT to help my liver. It seems like it made my head worse. Is this really what a detox feels like. Cause this SUCKS! Im really hoping this doesnt last long. I have done everything for my acne and nothing has worked. Not even diet changes…im not convinced food has anything to do with acne anyway. 80% of the population can eat mcdonalds and crap food and not get acne…whats up with that? I know its hormonal, my face was perfect when i was pregnant…anyways, im just wondering if this is supposed to feel this bad lol

Hi Tracy,
It’s been an absolute privilege reading your acne success story. I do notice that you credit Estroblock, as well as a holistic diet and lifestyle to mimimise the effect of acne. I am on the Estelle contraception pill, simply because of my acne. From your readings, your disposition on contraception pill is in fact that it contributes to acne? Thus, should I stop taking Estelle? I don’t need it for birth control, I primarily using it for acne purposes. If I stop taking Estelle, I would try Estroblock and see how that goes. Unfortunately, I struggle taking capsules or tables of any size (only the pill I can manage). Would there be anything that you recommend ( in liquid form) that would do the same work as Estroblock?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warmest
Nikki

I was wondering if you know of anyone that has experienced any weight loss with Estro Block.

Over the past 6 months I think that my hormones have just been so completely out of whack that I gained about 30 lbs and my skin has been a nightmare. I am hoping that if my acne and weight gain are hormonal, that EstroBlock will be able to help with both. *fingers crossed*

The results have been great. For years I have suffered from cystic acne as well as severe fatigue.

After 3 months I began to notice a big difference. My acne began to actually heal and to my surprise I also had a lot more energy. At the time I didn’t put 2 and 2 together but now realise that my hormone irregularity was impacting my physical and mental energy levels. I now wake up with a fresh start to life.

I would highly recommend this product and honestly to me was the answer.

This may not be the silver bullet for everyone, however I recommend people try it before dismissing its effectiveness (like on some other sites). This is a great product worth trying as it helped my situation a lot.

Hello!
I’m so happy to have stumbled upon your site. I’ve just started Estroblock in hopes that it will clear my skin, which according to the dermatologist I frequent, is hormonal in nature. (Oh joy!) I have read a lot about detoxing your liver whilst beginning Estroblock. My problem is that I’m allergic to milk thistle and dandelion (thus many of the detox options are off the table). I was wondering if anyone may know of or have any suggestions for detoxing my liver (that don’t involve milk thistle and/or dandelion). Thank you!!!

Hello. I was wondering about taking Estroblock along with birth control. . . I’ve struggled with different hormonal problems since I was a teenager (I’m 25 now), including acne, oily skin, very painful periods, short temper, depression, etc. I’ve tried all kinds of natural ways to improve things with little to no luck. I took a saliva test a while back and found out I don’t produce enough progesterone.
I started using a birth control patch a few months ago (every bc pill I’ve ever tried has made me deathly ill, but the patch has not bothered me) and my periods are sooo much better. I’m not writhing in pain anymore. I also don’t plan on having kids and the patch protects me from that. Unfortunately, I have not noticed a difference in my skin or moods. I still have very clogged pores with stringy sebum, oily skin, small breakouts, and mood problems. I’m not willing to get off of the patch right now because of how it has helped my cycle.
I’ve tried Estroblock Pro before, but I think it was too strong; I did not feel well on it. If I wanted to try the original Estroblock, is it okay to take that with my patch without it interfering. Would that be beneficial to my problems? If not, is there something else you’d recommend?
Thank you!

Love this blog and all the amazing tips to clearing my stubborn adult acne!! I completely changed what i eat for the past 5/6 months up until the holidays of course :/ But what can you do.. back on track this week! I have been taking Thorne Liver Cleanse along with Estroblock Pro Triple Strength for about 1 month. I take two of the EstroBlock Pro (1 @ AM and 1 @ PM) and 1 of the Thorne Liver Cleanse (usually in the AM but may switch to PM), because i am quite petite i wasn’t sure how i would react. Is this how much everyone else is taking of the liver cleanse or should i increase to 2 a day? Along with this, has anyone who is already fairly skinny lost a lot of weight? I recently became vegetarian so it may have a huge impact on my weight but i have lost about 4 lbs now in the past month and am wondering if this is due to the EstroBlock and/or Thorne?

Started estropro block pro 9 days ago. 2 per day as the bottle said. My face exploded with way more acne plus headaches. I added milk thistle for liver aid and the headaches are quite a bit better. I’m wondering if I should be changing the dose to one every 3 days until my body gets used to it ??? My skin has never been so bad. 🙁

Hey Julie!
I would lower the dose. Bring the dose back to one a day or one every two days. I tried Estroblock regular strength first and didn’t see a big result so switched to Estroblock Pro and ten my face blew up. However, I lowered the dose to one a day and now my face is doing great! :]

I’m back again still thinking about Estroblock. I’m sure I have read somewhere here or in your hormonal acne book about taking this and pregnancy? my acne is back pretty bad at the moment so thinking of trying Estroblock finally, but not sure if I can sign up to it longterm if its not safe with pregnancy… thanks so much!

I am starting this full internal cleanse and it will cleanse essentially all my organs in a month its called blessed herbs, I want to start the estroblock because I am pretty sure my acne is hormonal related. My question is do think its okay to start the estroblock while I am on the cleanse or should I wait till after? I want to start it as soon as possible so I can get results but I am not sure if it will interfere with the cleanse, its an all organic herb based cleanse so I think I should be fine, just wanted to see what your opinion on it was?

I found your blog several years ago when I was experiencing horrible hormonal acne. After reading this post, I started taking Estroblock Pro and a liver supplement. It worked WONDERS.

Flash forward, and I’m still taking it. Terrified after having missed a few days on vacation and my face “blew up” again.

My question is, seeing as in the originally article, you had been taking Estroblock for 1 year and hadn’t weaned off yet– is it still part of your routine? Or have you figured out how to wean off? Inquiring minds would love to know ❤️ Thanks again for saving my face.

[…] but I’ve mentioned in a few other posts that I’ve been taking Estroblock, 3 capsules a day (Read here for follow up post: Estroblock Q & A, which answers many further questions about this awesome, wonderful supplement – including […]
